What?
CTL facilitates faculty learning communities (FLCs) for groups of 5-12 instructors who meet over the course of 10 weeks to study, share, and learn together about timely topics with the goal of enhancing teaching and learning across the university. Learning communities have a hybrid format and typically meet 5 times on Zoom (60 to 90 minutes per meeting) as well as engaging in asynchronous learning activities on Canvas.
FLC topics have ranged from hybrid course redesign to co-curricular learning, experiential education, international education, facilitation of learning communities, blended learning, resilient teaching, and teaching and artificial intelligence. At the conclusion of each FLC, learning community members share their experiences and learning with the OSU community through a Zoom showcase. FLC members frequently post on the CTL blog.
Who?
Oregon State University instructors and tenured/tenure-track faculty who regularly teach credit-based Corvallis and Cascades campus courses are eligible to apply.
When?
During 2024-25, faculty learning communities will be offered each term. Watch for upcoming calls for participation announced on this site and in OSU Today.
