2004 Summer Institute Description
On June 7-10 2004, UMUC's Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) hosted its very first Summer Faculty Leadership Institute: Instructional Strategies and Learning Outcomes in Adelphi, Maryland. Bringing together close to fifty DE faculty and faculty development staff from Europe, Asia, and the United States, this institute's purpose was to improve instruction at UMUC by acquainting participants with recent UMUC research on best instructional practices, introducing them to the effective use of multimedia in online teaching, and bringing about a greater awareness of the concept of peer leadership in the context of working toward "one UMUC."
This institute was highly interactive and very much a collaborative effort between CTL and its sister units in the Office of Distance Education and Lifelong Learning (ODELL), the Institute for Research and Evaluation (IRAHE) and Center for the Virtual University (CVU). The major components of this institute consisted of workshop tracks on Best Instructional Practices and Integrating Multimedia, both with an emphasis on learning outcomes.
The Summer Institite was so well-recieved that UMUC leadership decided to make it an annual event.

collaborative effort between CTL and various units within UMUC.
