PTF Impacts
Provost's Teaching Fellows have made lasting impacts in their departments, colleges and schools, all of the University of Texas, and even the broader scholarship of teaching and learning. Through both individual initiatives and university-wide programs, PTFs continue to serve as catalysts for positive change and further our campus culture of teaching and learning.

Bilingual Training Program in Audiology (Digital Badge)
The majority of the clinical population served at the UT Speech and Hearing Center is Spanish-speaking, yet there is no audiology-specific training for students providing care. This program provides targeted training for audiology graduate students to best serve their Spanish-speaking patients. The culmination of this experience results in a digital badge provided by the Moody College of Communication, which can be viewed here.
Additional Grant Funding (Cockrell School of Engineering)
Alongside Dr. Berkin Dortdivanlioglu, PTF Krishna Kumar received a grant from the Cockrell School of Engineering to use AI for personalized tutors in their introduction to programming course. They have since built a personalized tutor for this course, which is available for students privately. They are now in the process of making the tutor public through the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).
Preliminary Study on Teaching an Engineering Course Through Murder Mysteries (ASEE Gulf-Southwest)
PTF Krishna Kumar presented this paper at the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Gulf-Southwest Section Annual Conference in March 2023. This paper discusses usage and results of the Murder Mystery-style assignments Kumar has developed as part of his PTF Initiative.

Pharmacy Practice Labs Promotional Videos
Two promotional videos were created to highlight the impact of Pharmacy Practice Labs and collaboration with UT Athletic Training.
The first video is specifically about the Pharmacy Practice Labs program. In this course sequence, students learn to navigate the pharmacists' patient care process in preparation for Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences. Students utilize critical-thinking, problem-solving and communication skills to collect, assess, plan, implement and follow-up on patients at introductory and advanced levels.
Effect on Students and Faculty of Implementation of a Comprehensive, Longitudinal Pharmacy Practice Laboratory Series into Doctor of Pharmacy Curriculum (ASHP)
PTF Ashley Castleberry was one of six UT faculty who presented a poster at the 2022 Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition of the American Society for Health-System Pharmacists describing the Pharmacy Practice Lab (PPL) sequence spanning all six semesters of the UTCOP didactic program to consolidate lab components and increase skills development while aligning with and reinforcing curriculum balance.
Integrating an Architectural Engineering Undergraduate Program with Building Information Modeling (Journal of Architectural Engineering)
PTF Fernanda Leite co-authored this article in the Journal of Architectural Engineering. The article examines the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) into an undergraduate Architectural Engineering course, which was a core component of Leite's PTF Initiative.

The Perspectives of Three Universities’ Building Information Modeling Course Development (ASEE)
PTF Fernanda Leite co-presented this paper at the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Virtual Annual Conference in June 2020.
BIM for Design Coordination: A Virtual Design and Construction Guide for Designers, General Contractors, and MEP Subcontractors
PTF Fernanda Leite authored the academic text BIM for Design Coordination: A Virtual Design and Construction Guide for Designers, General Contractors, and MEP Subcontractors. Leite's book includes a chapter specifically about teaching Building Information Modeling (BIM) in college courses titled "BIM Teaching Considerations," which is directly related to the work done in her PTF Initiative.

Health Communications Scholars Program
Launched in 2013, the Health Communication Scholars Program (HCSP) seeks to support graduate student research in health communication. HCSP was created by Dr. Mike Mackert within the Moody College of Communication and initially funded by the Provost’s Teaching Fellows program.
