Office of IDEAS
The Office of IDEAS (Innovation and Digital Excellence for Academic Success) consolidates the Center for Faculty Excellence, DISCOVERe, Academic Technology Resource Center, and the Accessible Resource Center under one umbrella administered by the Provost's Office. The office ensures that faculty and students have outstanding support for Canvas, Explorance, Panopto, Zoom, and much more. IDEAS will continue the tradition of providing high-level professional development opportunities in the areas of open educational resources, accessible course content, technology, innovation, and pedagogy.
Our Center for Faculty Excellence provides professional development, growth, and collaboration across disciplines. Professional development is the conscience of the faculty because it provides a space for faculty to reflect on what they do, why they do it, and how to improve it. Your contribution will support programs like Equity-Minded Pedagogy, Advancing Inclusive Mentoring, Zero Cost Course Materials, and many more.
Innovation & Digital Excellence for Academic Success
The vision of our Office of Innovation & Digital Excellence for Academic Success (IDEAS) is to collaborate and implement effective and holistic professional development opportunities for all faculty that have a positive influence on teaching pedagogy, service, and research while supporting our diverse student population to attain their personal and professional goals. Our team ensures that our campus has outstanding academic technology support and high-level professional development opportunities in the areas of open educational resources, accessible course content, inclusion, and pedagogy. Your donations will be used for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to events, awards, and resources needed for programming and activities that will benefit our faculty, staff, and students.
Our program works to empower the next generation of leaders by giving them the digital technology and support they need to succeed during their time at Fresno State. Along with our continued efforts to support students with the newest technology, we also work with our DISCOVERe faculty members to rethink what is possible within the classroom and how our students learn. Your support today will go to our continued efforts to provide the most impactful technologies and strategies for learning in the classroom.
