Purpose
The UMC Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) focuses on a holistic and systematic approach to institutional self-evaluation with the goal of identifying opportunities and conducting initiatives that promote a continuous process of academic and institutional improvement.
Our academic improvement initiatives are identified by an advisory committee through a multi-faceted exploratory process that solicits feedback from all stakeholders. Our goal is to implement projects and changes that continually improve the quality of academic programs at UMC.

ALL FACULTY Syllabus Workshops
Where: Bede Ballroom
Description: Developing Learning Outcomes
What do we want students to be able to do when they complete our courses? How can we connect these outcomes to our course design and classroom activities? In this workshop, participants will compare several frameworks for developing learning outcomes, and discuss how to map these objectives within a specific course and across an academic program.
Description: The Power of the Syllabus
Your syllabus is one of the most important documents you create for your class, serving as an agreement between you and your students. It conveys a first and lasting impression of you and the course you've designed while it shares your beliefs about teaching. Most importantly, it can help students succeed in your class! In this interactive workshop you will be exploring ways to maximize the power of the syllabus as a tool for increasing student success. BRING TWO COPIES OF A SYLLABUS FROM ONE OF YOUR COURSES!!
