Teaching/Learning Center

Welcome Faculty!

Let's get spring 2020 off in style. Stop by the TLC during the lunch hour this week to meet your colleagues, learn about how TLC staff can support you, and have snacks.

Enter our raffle by coming to the TLC! Winners are drawn each day this week.

Participate in our New Year's Teaching Resolutions:

• What would you like to learn in 2020?
• What are your teaching goals for the new year?

The mission of the TLC is to further develop, support, and promote a culture of excellence in teaching and learning, particularly through technology-enhancements. Keeping this in mind we strive to:

• Support faculty/instructors in developing a familiarity with current pedagogy (teaching methodologies and best practices) as they apply to both eLearning and traditional courses
• Assist faculty/instructors to incorporate instructional technology tools or web-enhancements as appropriate into course curriculum
• Offer one-on-one training and workshops
• Provide a comfortable computer lab/workspace where faculty can prepare for classes, develop instructional content, research, develop projects, and experiment with instructional technology tools
• Help new faculty/instructors transition successfully into the Otis College teaching community 

Leave your feedback.
