The Center for Teaching and Learning

The Center for Teaching and Learning addresses these questions:
  • What do we know about effective uses of technology in liberal-arts teaching?
  • How do we know if technology is being used to enhance teaching and learning?
  • What are the implications of these innovations?
We offer you 3 ways to join the conversation in the CTL, all of which are available in the contribute space:
  1. Vignettes: These guided forms help you discuss and analyze how technology helped and/or hindered a particular course or part of a course and provide a space for reflecting on the relationship between the specific learning activities and liberal arts education objectives. We are especially interested in our contributors moving these discussions toward assessment of results. (These forms are modeled on David G. Brown's Interactive Learning: Vignettes from America's Most Wired Campuses (Anker, 2000)).
  2. PostersWe're interested in links to your documented scholarship in teaching and learning as it investigates uses of technology in liberal arts learning. See the Carnegie Foundation's KEEP Toolkit for a useful tool for making your own posters and portfolios.
  3. Essays Know of a good article that discusses the connections between teaching, learning, and technology? Link to it and encourage discussion.
