WNIJ-WNIU Testimonial Open House - We want to hear from you!
We are inviting our listeners and supporters to share their testimonials with us so we can share them with others in our community. Whether it's your last "driveway moment" or a comment about your favorite WNIJ and WNIU program, we want to hear it!
Easily record your testimonial from the comfort of your home or join us to record in person at our upcoming open house.
Everyone who records at our studios will also walk away with station swag. Had your eye on a new mug, here’s your chance! Based on availability. Learn more by visiting the WNIJ-WNIU website.
Human Resource Services introduces new Training and Employee Development web page.
Human Resource Services is now offering a training and development web page. This new resource contains on-demand recorded videos and tutorials for faculty, staff and supervisors to enhance their skills, learn new tips and find resources to make NIU the best place to work. The page will be added to as often as new topics become available. Human Resource Services will also be partnering with other departments and resources on campus to supply contact information and links to other training opportunities. Check out the site regularly for new content or to refresh yourself on topics of interest. Any questions about the site can be directed to HumanResources@niu.edu.
New programs to recognize and support faculty who cut costs for course materials.
The Course Materials Affordability Task Force (CMAT) is pleased to announce two new programs, sponsored by NIU Libraries, to encourage academic departments and faculty to transition to low-cost (total materials cost of under $40) or zero-cost materials in their courses. The ACM Awards recognize departments offering the highest percentage of course sections using low- or zero-cost course materials in the academic year with acknowledgment on NIU’s Open Education website and a financial award. Additionally, individual faculty who consistently offer courses designated in MyNIU as requiring low- or zero-cost materials will also be recognized.
The ACM Integration Cohort will focus on converting existing courses to low-cost or zero-cost course materials courses. Participants will learn how to locate, evaluate and integrate affordable course materials with support from CITL staff and subject specialist librarians, and will receive a $500 stipend upon completion of program requirements. All full-time and adjunct teaching faculty are eligible to apply, but the number of participants will be limited based on funding.
Visit the NIU Open Education website for more information. Cohort applications are due Sept. 30, 2022.
