Welcome!

We’re happy you’re here. You’ve come to the right place for teaching innovation and you’re a step away from connecting with our support teams.

ON Podcast logo

ON – Cultivating Student Engagement in Higher Ed is a podcast originally produced by Dr. Katy Berkow, former Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems (MIS) in the Accounting & MIS Department at the University of Delaware. We’re pleased to announce that this successful podcast will continue under the expert guidance of Dr. Lauren Kelley, an instructional designer in UDIT Academic Technology Services (ATS). The reimagined podcast will still provide teaching perspectives related to instructors and students, but will shift toward how technology and innovation add value to the teaching and learning practice. Previous ON listeners can expect to become better acquainted with support services available to them regardless of course modality.
