Digital Teaching Fellows

Digital Teaching Fellows are full-time faculty members who are committed to deepening their understanding of how technology affects teaching and learning. In collaboration with the Office of Digital Teaching and Learning, each cohort designs and conduct an applied pedagogic research project focusing on the intersection of technology and teaching, whether online or in the classroom. Together the work of the Fellows will center on and speak to a common theme specific to the cohort. Digital Teaching Fellows form a professional learning community who share their expertise with the broader Loyola community by distilling key lessons and best practices from both the existing literature and their own experiences and sharing that knowledge through faculty development activities offered throughout the year (e.g., symposia, workshops, practice guidelines, sessions offered at the Teaching Enhancement Workshops, mentoring other faculty).  

Working in collaboration with the Office of Digital Teaching and Learning (ODTL), Digital Teaching Fellows ordinarily serve for two years and receive $2,000 ($1,000 each year) for their service to the university. Fellows elect a chair, annually. The chair convenes monthly meetings, facilitates discussions, coordinates faculty development activities, and prepares a brief annual report that summarizes the Fellows’ activity for the year. The chair receives an additional $1000 for each year of service.  

The Charge

The Digital Teaching Fellows are charged with creating a professional learning community to explore the impact of technology on teaching and learning, promote best practices related to the utilization of technology online and in the classroom, and serve as a campus resource for expertise in digital teaching and learning.
