Activities for 2008-09 Academic Year
Our plan of work for the 2008-09 academic year is primarily focused on Objectives 1a-1d and 2a above. Every few weeks during the year you will receive notice about an IETC Clipboard survey; in exchange for completing the survey, we’re buying you a free beverage at Java Wally’s! The data we collect from these surveys will be (1) shared back with the faculty, (2) used to determine what resources are needed on campus (or are available on campus but need better publicity!), and (3) used to identify any new areas of faculty development that can be facilitated by future TLC offerings or IETC pilot programs.

Coffee Hour Schedule
For faculty who fill out our survey, we are providing a free Java Wally’s beverage certificate.  The certificate is redeemable any time 8:30-4:30 on the day of the coffee hour; during the hours designated below, IETC members will also be at Java Wally’s to discuss and display comments submitted to date on the current survey.  The full list of coffee hour dates and times for the year is given below.  Click on each topic to see the results of the survey!
