Welcome to the CTL

The CTL is excited to announce the launch of our new blog, Teach & Learn, a place where all things teaching and learning in higher education can be discussed. This blog will feature scholarly conversations on teaching and learning by CTL staff, faculty and students from the broader campus community, and invited guests from beyond.

Staff at the CTL are working remotely until further notice. If you require assistance please send an email to the appropriate staff member, or join our virtual drop-ins and consultations.

CTL, OOL, and ITS have developed resources, workshops and online training to support instructors in teaching and learning amidst the COVID-19 preparations:
Academic Continuity During Unplanned Course Interruptions;
COVID-19 Preparedness Workshops, Drop-ins and Consultations.

The Centre for Teaching and Learning provides individual consultations, group workshops, and online self-paced courses about the use of the University’s learning management system, Blackboard Learn. Faculty, sessional instructors, staff, and GAs are welcome to register.
