For Faculty and Staff

ONDAS Faculty Seminar

Participants in this year-long seminar and conference will work together to: 

  • conduct research-based, theory-driven investigations of our disciplines and teaching; 
  • adapt or develop new approaches to teaching based on these investigations;  
  • develop or expand inclusive teaching practices, including examining the roles that cutting-edge technologies can play in enhancing inclusive teaching and learning.
