Digital Pedagogy
Fellowship
Digital Pedagogy
Fellowship
An intensive fellowship designed to help educators develop courses rich with student engagement techniques based in best practices in pedagogical research. Educators gain an understanding of the course design model, Understanding by Design (UbD), Universal Design for Learning, digital accessibility, and a variety of teaching and learning strategies. The competitive fellowship is developed by instructional designers and trainers who provide one-on-one mentorship to cohort members throughout the year.
Co-Mentoring
in Practice
Co-Mentoring
in Practice
Developed with Suzanne Monthie, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Mentorship is a highly valuable way to support learning and gain guidance from someone more experienced in your field. A mentor can be hard to find. Co-mentorship offers an alternative to the power-balance of the traditional mentorship relationship with a more equal, mutually beneficial one. Co-mentorship leverages the diversity of experience and strengths between partners who respect, trust and like each other.
