Courses for Teaching and Learning

Personalized Professional Development: Your Invitation to Be Curious

Welcome to the Courses for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) Catalog

In the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence, we believe that professional development should be practical, convenient, and inspiring. We’ve done the research, we’ve considered the options, and most importantly, we’ve listened to our faculty. As educators, your needs, motivations, and interests vary, so your professional development options should too. Our CTLs are opportunities for you to explore innovative teaching practices, to learn more about evidence-informed instructional strategies, and to try out the latest educational technologies – all at your own pace.

CTLs are offered at a variety of times every semester. They are open for four weeks and take most participants about an hour to complete. To register for any of the offerings, select the Events Calendar. Even though the CTLs are self-paced, each course has a CTLE facilitator to help guide you through the process and to answer any questions you may have as you work through the material. Upon completion of CTLs, participants are awarded digital badges and points on the Faculty Leaderboard.

Do you have an idea for a future course? Interested in a specific topic? Let us know! Our new course catalog is designed to be adaptive and responsive to your interests. We’re constantly adding to the course offerings, so be sure to share your ideas!

Current offerings:

CTL 114 - Active Learning in the Online Environment			The goal of this course is to introduce faculty to the theoretical foundations, design practices, and practical techniques for creating active, engaging online courses. This course is self-paced, and we estimate it will take about an hour to complete, depending on the level of experience. While the primary audience for this course is faculty who are new to online instruction and design, it may also be beneficial for those faculty who are redesigning existing courses and wish to include more engaging assignments for their learners.
CTL 200 - Deeper Dive into Hybrid Course Development at Saint Leo			Preparation and organization are essential for a successful hybrid course. When it comes to hybrid course design, you will want to consider the most effective ways to deliver the instructional content and learning activities. In this self-paced, project-based course, you will determine the various components of each module and then plan the activities, materials, and assessments for the first four modules/weeks of your hybrid course. CTL 138 - Introduction to Hybrid Teaching at Saint Leo is a prerequisite for this course.
CTL 138 - Introduction to Hybrid Teaching at Saint Leo			Hybrid courses integrate various formats of instruction, including face-to-face, video conferencing, and or asynchronous online instruction.
