PTF Impacts

Provost's Teaching Fellows have made lasting impacts in their departments, colleges and schools, all of the University of Texas, and even the broader scholarship of teaching and learning. Through both individual initiatives and university-wide programs, PTFs continue to serve as catalysts for positive change and further our campus culture of teaching and learning.

Teaching Climate Change Canvas Module

Date
Fellow(s)

A campus-wide faculty learning community constructed a canvas sandbox website where we could share materials related to climate change, with annotations, with the broader UT community. We collected our groups materials, and tried to organize them in a useful way. This includes lectures, activities, quizzes, projects, pre/post tests, etc. We organize both by learning objective, and by course. Our website is now live. A publication on pre/post survey results is being prepared.

The Odyssey (1997), with Deborah Beck (Movies We Dig Podcast)

Date
Fellow(s)

I made a guest appearance on the Classics media podcast "Movies We Dig" in part because the hosts knew of my work with "Musings in Greek Literature." On this podcast, hosted by several young Classicists including two graduates of the UT Classics Ph.D. program, I discussed the made-for-TV version of Homer's Odyssey starring Armand Assante and Isabelle Rosselini (1997).
