News from CTL

Would you like to gain insights from undergraduate student experiences about this important topic that is significantly influencing academic work?

CTL is celebrating two recent gatherings that made space to gather, learn, and go forth. In addition, we are so pleased to announce a new cohort of Provost's Teaching Fellows.

The Provost's Teaching Fellows Program empowers faculty to advance education in two ways: through individual initiatives that improve teaching and learning at UT, and through campus-wide events that promote the quality of education and its status in the campus culture. The PTF Program operates in conjunction with and is supported by the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Dr. Wenhong Chen, professor of media studies and sociology at the Moody College of Communications, led a thought-provoking PTF Think Tank session on AI in the Year of the Little Dragon.

There will be many wonderful opportunities during February facilitated by CTL and the wider teaching and learning community.

The UT System is committed to faculty growth in teaching with ACUE microcredential courses. These courses offer a path to the prestigious Effective Teaching Certification, enhancing teaching skills and professional development for UT faculty.

Happy New Year! We hope you had a restful holiday break. In this January edition, we're excited to share a variety of pedagogy resources and programming to help you prepare for your spring semester courses and inspire your teaching journey.

The Center for Teaching and Learning continued its mission of fostering teaching excellence and innovation in 2024. Through a diverse range of programs and events, CTL supported faculty, instructors, and graduate students in enhancing their teaching practices, building inclusive classrooms, and exploring cutting-edge strategies for student engagement. Below is a look back at some of the highlights that defined this exceptional year.
