Finding Support
Do you have an idea you’d like to implement in your classroom? Several options are available to provide different kinds of support:
AI in Education Faculty Learning Community
Sponsored by the Office of Distance Education, this Faculty Learning Community (FLC) focuses on AI teaching and learning. Participants can explore a variety of topics to enhance their understanding and implementation of artificial intelligence in an educational setting.
The Teaching and Learning Excellence Division (TLED) offers comprehensive, long-term fellowship opportunities on a variety of topics to support our vision for Austin Community College (ACC) faculty to lead as models of teaching and learning excellence in higher education. See Artificial Intelligence for Teaching & Learning Fellowships.
ACC provides funds to individual faculty, groups of faculty, and professional-technical staff for projects that focus on enhancing the learning environment.
