The Summer Academy for Online Teaching Excellence affords UA Little Rock faculty an opportunity for hands-on and asynchronous professional development geared towards creating engaging instructional content and meaningful learning experiences for traditional, hybrid, and online courses.

Facilitated by Dr. Daryl Tate, Faculty Coordinator, and the STaR Instructional Design team, Summer Academy is an excellent opportunity to collaborate with other online instructors as well as gain insight and research-based best practices for developing and creating innovative online content.
The Summer Academy consists of three components, the Summer Workshop in June, the Fall Feedback Luncheon in November, and the Spring Faculty Showcase in March.

Nominations: Nominations for Summer Academy open each spring semester, March 1 – April 15.
