Short Courses Alumni Video Series

The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence invites you to share your experiences and lessons learned from having participated in our short courses. These videos will be made available for viewing via Kaltura to fellow Penn State faculty members, and beyond (with your permission). We recognize that your participation was a commitment (and we hope a worthwhile one!). We think your Penn State colleagues would love to hear about it, too. Please consider submitting a short video (4 minutes or less) to share in which you discuss your experiences, challenges, benefits, and lessons learned that you will apply to your future teaching.
