Facilitating Student Learning

Description

Facilitating student learning encompasses all of the strategies instructors can use to support student learning in any delivery format, on-ground, hybrid, or online.

The links below are designed to help you with this facilitation. They are listed in order of increasing time commitment, from browsing our online resources to semester-long, for-credit courses.

If you don't find what you are looking for, there is a contact link later in the page. You are also welcome to contact one of our faculty developers to discuss your teaching ideas, concerns, or questions. We are happy to work with you via email, phone, or Zoom.
