Teaching at UT Arlington continues to change, and so do聽the demands on faculty time, energy, and attention. The聽CRTLE Summer 2026 Virtual Programming Series聽was intentionally designed to聽meet聽this moment. Guided by the theme聽Teaching Smarter, Not Harder: Sustainable Teaching for a Changing 糖心Vlog视频, this series focuses on helping faculty reclaim time, reduce unnecessary workload, and make thoughtful choices about where to invest effort for the biggest payoff in student learning.
You鈥檝e been invited to:
Join us for an exciting session of our Between the Lines book talk featuring Flower Darby, the author of The Joyful Online Teacher: Finding Our Fizz in Asynchronous Classes. This book provides practical guidance for making distance learning infinitely more enjoyable and effective, and for improving the online teaching experience in asynchronous classes that often take place in Learning Management Systems (LMSs) like Canvas or Blackboard Learn, and where instructors and students rarely interact in real time, contributing to low completion rates.
One of the most pervasive challenges in distance learning is the absent online instructor; and one clear reason for this problem is the often unsatisfying nature of teaching online. Flower will sit down with Penny MacCormack, Ed.D., ACUE’s Founding Chief Academic Officer, to discuss her book and the tools she uses to address this challenge.
Don't miss this chance to engage directly with one of the leading voices in online learning!
