News from CTL

With finals behind us, we hope your semester is wrapping up soon. Our next newsletter will be sent in mid-June after time for reflection and looking ahead. In the meantime, RSVP for the virtual Technology-Enhanced Learning Symposium on May 18.

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is partnering with the Graduate School and UT Libraries to host our 7th Graduate Teaching Showcase which highlights excellent graduate student teaching at UT Austin. The centerpiece of the Showcase is a series of personal narratives about teaching presented by students from across campus.

Spring semester 2023 began with a twist. In addition to the first day of classes arriving earlier than usual, many news articles, blog entries, and social media posts were focused on an emerging artificial intelligence text generator known as ChatGPT.

The CTL offers a variety of events to support your teaching practice including QEP workshop and how technology tools help when you finish up the semester. Besides, don’t forget 2022 Holiday Party!

We hope the start of the semester is progressing with abundant amounts of curiosity, collaboration, and fresh insight. As always, contact us if we can support your teaching and learning journey.

We are reflecting on the guiding messages sent in January from the Provost and our Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) colleagues. While we have passed this initial phase of spring semester, many principles and strategies are applicable to the ongoing work of inclusive teaching and learning.

The start of fall semester has begun! Here's an overview of upcoming programming and we pulled together a collection of FIC and campus partner resources to support tech-enhanced instruction.

In preparation for fall 2020, the UT teaching and learning community developed a wealth of resources to get us through the pandemic. We dove back into those resources, many featured on our FIC Commons site, and extracted some that may be helpful for instructors juggling course modalities in the first few weeks of classes to meet health and safety needs. 

It's a season of celebration in the FIC! Hear from our director and resources from spring events. Also, take a moment to investigate opportunities for your future work.

As the semester wraps up, we hope you can attend the TEL Symposium to celebrate teaching and learning at UT Austin during this academic year. In addition, we're excited to announce 2021-2022 grantees and technology workshop opportunities.
