ADVANCING AND CELEBRATING QUALITY TEACHING

OSU's Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) provides pedagogical support in eight core areas related to higher education instruction with an emphasis on course design, assessment, blended learning, instructional methods, and inclusive teaching.   The CTL staff are also standing by to help you in all aspects of Remote Teaching. Contact us for ways to increase engagement, address student learning concerns, and fine tune assessment.  

Consultations:  Whether you want to learn more about a core area of pedagogy, discuss a pedagogical challenge, or share a classroom victory, our staff are ready for you. To schedule a 1-on-1 teaching consultation contact [email protected]. All meetings are confidential, and formative. While we are ready to help with general course design, and revision of assignments, assessments, and syllabi, we are also ready to engage with you on issues that develop during the term and need immediate attention.
