Transylvania University is again benefiting from the support of an organization whose legacy includes prominence in Kentucky media operations. Transy is launching the Bingham Center for Teaching Excellence.
The new center, supported with $600,0000 from the Bingham Fund for Excellence, will carry a heavy focus on faculty development. Transylvania President Brien Lewis said digital learning through utilizing virtual reality, IPAD, or other platforms is a part of this initiative. And assignments in class may vary.
“So now, it’s not just everything’s an essay. It’s ok, you might be doing an essay, you might be doing a podcast, you might be doing an audio-visual presentation. And making sure that our faculty can help develop those skills,” said Lewis.
