The Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning's Affiliates program is designed to recognize faculty, staff, and students who are dedicated to supporting and elevating instructional excellence and enhancing the learning outcomes and experiences of Ohio State students.
Drake Institute Affiliates share resources, participate in institute programs, disseminate research findings, and contribute to SoTL/DBER initiatives. Through these contributions, they forward our goal of providing diverse and meaningful professional learning experiences to Ohio State instructors, including educational development opportunities, instructional design support, learning technology programming, individualized consultations, research opportunities, and more.
