Signature Annual Events
Full-Day Faculty Workshops
We host three full-day workshops each year鈥攐ne before the start of each semester (Fall, Winter, and Summer). These in-depth sessions focus on updates from campus offices as well as timely topics in course design, pedagogy, technology, and assessment, giving you the time and space to prepare for the semester ahead.
ID & Tea
A casual, drop-in space to chat about course design, pedagogy, and instructional challenges. Bring your questions, ideas, or simply come to listen and learn. Our Instructional Designers are here to help over a cup of tea.
Lunch & Learn
Once a month, join us for lunch-hour sessions on a variety of teaching topics. Guest speakers share their expertise, and discussions spark fresh ideas you can use right away in your own courses.
Book Club
Each semester, our book club explores a thought-provoking work on teaching and learning. The conversations are engaging, collaborative, and a great way to connect with peers who share your curiosity.
Faculty Learning Community
Engage in scholarship that examines teaching and learning. This group offers a supportive environment to share research ideas, refine methods, and explore publication opportunities.
Faculty Peer Coaching
Work one-on-one or in small groups with colleagues to reflect on your teaching, observe one another鈥檚 classes, and give constructive feedback in a supportive, non-evaluative setting.
CTL Office Hours
Every week, Instructional Designers set aside time in the CTL Conference Room on the first floor of South Hall and in Zoom for you to drop in and ask questions or just hang out and drink a cup of coffee before class. Check the CTL calendar below for the next session.
