Student Success
Bilingual Training Program in Audiology
The majority of the clinical population served at the UT Speech and Hearing Center is Spanish-speaking, yet there is no audiology-specific training for students providing care. This program provides targeted training for audiology graduate students to best serve their Spanish-speaking patients. The culmination of this experience results in a digital badge provided by the Moody College of Communication, which can be viewed here.
Creation of General Chemistry Laboratory Courses CH104M and CH014N
In Fall 2024, I helped launch the new general chemistry labs, rewritten to include Research Methods material (rebranded "thinking like a scientist"), and taught to 4500 students.

Qualitative and Quantitative Impact of Metacognitive Interventions in Supplemental Instruction Sessions (ASEE)
Former PTF chair Nina Telang co-presented this paper at the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Virtual Annual Conference in June 2020.
Bringing Introductory Astronomy to a Broad Audience via Web-based Instruction
In 2024, I piloted a new web-based version of Astronomy 301 (Introductory to Astronomy), and taught it a second time in 2025. I attempted to include best practices for active learning, which was a challenge in this environment.

The Evolution of Peer-Assisted Learning: From SI to PLUS (ASEE)

Teaching Tips 2023-2024
Each year, the PTF Chair-Elect has the opportunity to share recurring Teaching Tips with the all faculty at UT.

Teaching Tips 2022-2023
Each year, the PTF Chair-Elect has the opportunity to share recurring Teaching Tips with all faculty at UT. These messages cover a variety of topics, styles, and methodologies, from brief and practical classroom strategies to in-depth conversations with voices from across campus.
This year’s Teaching Tips were written by Chair-Elect Nina Telang, from the Chandra Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

This year’s Teaching Tips were written by Chair-Elect Jessica Toste, from the Department of Special Education.

Teaching Climate Change (Canvas Module)
As part of Steve Finkelstein's PTF Initiative, a campus-wide faculty learning community constructed a canvas sandbox website where they could share materials related to climate change, with annotations, with the broader UT community. They collected the group's materials, and then tried to organize them in a useful way. The materials include lectures, activities, quizzes, projects, pre/post tests, etc., and are organized both by learning objective and by course. The website is now live, and a publication on pre/post survey results is being prepared.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) Program for Electrical and Computer Engineering
For her Provost's Teaching Fellows initiative, Nina Telang developed of a Supplemental Instruction (SI) program in a sophomore-level Electrical and Computer Engineering course, EE319K: Introduction to Embedded Systems.
Supplemental Instruction (SI) study sessions to help students succeed in introductory courses by employing a peer teaching model. SI Leaders – TAs or peers who have already successfully taken the course – plan and lead two identical, voluntary SI sessions each week, which students can join at any point in the semester.
