Services include leading technology workshops, facilitating events on pedagogical models and best-practices in teaching, one-on-one consultations, appropriate teaching tool selection, high-level technical support for hosted platforms, and the creation of just-in-time help documentation.

Faculty Resources

Teaching Resources: The Libraries and Academic Affairs collaborate to provide many teaching resources that support the pedagogical uses of online teaching and learning technologies. You can find much more about teaching on the Teaching Lab Portal site.

Teaching Lab Calendar: this Google calendar can be accessed at any time for an up-to-date event schedule. You can click the plus sign in the lower-right corner to add this calendar to your account. This does not add these events to your personal work calendar but allows you to use it as an overlay for reference.

Programs / Projects Supported

Collaboration with the Teaching Lab - The Teaching Lab is a "virtual center" that provides support to faculty by providing access to library services, teaching-related information and events, and resources for faculty development. The Libraries collaborate with the Teaching Lab to provide workshops and faculty support. The Teaching Lab can be found here on the Portal.

Teaching Hybrid and Online Classes - certificate program to provide faculty with the opportunity to increase their digital fluency and learn how to teach hybrid/online classes.
