One of the main responsibilities of Online Learning is to broker effective strategies for technology-enhanced teaching and learning. By "broker" we mean two things: (1) identifying and recognizing RIT faculty for creating these strategies and (2) sharing these strategies with other faculty, the larger RIT community and beyond.

To that end, we've recently produced the first in a planned series of digital showcases. This inaugural set of 11, short, multi-media stories (most are video interview clips) is available in the Faculty Recognition section, and includes the following productions:
