• Year-round programming
![Page 4: By Design: Grassroots Development for Strategic Gains](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070406/568142b5550346895daef5ec/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FDI Aims for All Faculty• Motivate faculty to rethink teaching and
learning– Explore specific instructional technology
applications– Investigate, create, and use alternative
instructional strategies– Hear from faculty who have transformed their
teaching practice
• Recurring voluntary participation to update knowledge, skills, and technology

Recent FDI Innovations• Peer mentor initiative• FDI/NMC production support initiative• FDI internships• Independent project track• Spring track option:
– Currently a subset of summer tracks
– Participants take online or two-hour workshops (usually seven) with a thematic focus
– Fulfills the summer requirement
– Participants receive computers early
