Bass Digital Education Fellowship
LILE, in partnership with the Duke Graduate School, offers a semester-long fellowship program to provide PhD students professional development opportunities in the growing area of digital education and online college teaching.
The Bass Digital Education Fellowship offers PhD students an opportunity to collaborate on digital projects in partnership with Duke faculty and under the guidance of Learning Innovation to explore new technologies for learning, and to develop new online education models and programs.
The program helps graduate students develop new skills to distinguish themselves in the academic job market and to explore emerging career paths in education technology, digital publishing, online education, and teaching and learning innovation. Fellows will consult with Duke departments and/or individual faculty to uncover needs, research solutions, draft project proposals, and execute a digital project in support of undergraduate education. Fellows who complete the program will also partially fulfill the requirements for the Certificate in College Teaching.

Duke Graduate Academy
The Duke Graduate Academy offers free online short courses that help emerging scholars prepare for high-level research, innovative teaching, leadership and/or public engagement. Duke University graduate and professional students and postdoctoral fellows can build skills, tools and knowledge to augment their regular coursework and research. Courses in the Duke Graduate Academy cover topics not typically included in a graduate curriculum, or they provide an intensive introduction for graduate students and postdocs who might not have the time or inclination to pursue a full course in a subject. Instructors are Duke faculty as well as highly trained Duke staff and Ph.D. students. Duke Graduate Academy courses are offered during Summer Sessions I and II.
