Fink is president of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education--the largest organization for faculty development in the United States. He also is director of the Instructional Development Program at the University of Oklahoma. Visit [www.ou.edu/idp/dfink.htm] to learn more about his work and research. Participants will learn how to incorporate innovative ideas and practices into their courses that will help their students learn more. And in the process, they will draw on--and benefit from--the experience and ideas of faculty colleagues. Sponsored by IT-User Services, the Center for Teaching Effectiveness and the General Education Initiative, the event begins with breakfast from 8:30-9 a.m. Finks workshop runs from 9 a.m.-noon.

Space is limited. Participants will receive a set of session materials for review before the event. During January, Winter Faculty Institute classes will expand on Finks model for instructional design, using online examples allowing faculty to adapt it to meet their own needs.
