Expanding Pedagogies, Innovative Courses, or EPIC, offers start-to-finish course development support to UAF instructors who are developing or redesigning online courses. EPIC is now accepting applications from instructors who are designing online courses they plan to offer in spring 2019. The first first deadline to apply is Monday, May 28.

The program includes structured facilitation that connects participants directly to instructional designers and a community of faculty facing the challenges of teaching online. It will require weekly participation throughout the fall semester, with continued support and activities through the spring.

“EPIC has made me feel connected to UAF and to my colleagues in ways that I never have before,” said Katie Lubowicki, adjunct instructor of writing. “For the first time, because of the structure that EPIC provides, I am collaborating with multiple other instructors to create a course."

"I feel not only supported but also excited about becoming an online teacher.”
