Welcome

We in º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø's Teaching & Learning Center love to welcome new faculty to our campus! If this is you, we extend a warm welcome! Your expertise and dedication are invaluable assets, and we're glad you're here.  We look forward to working with and supporting you and other new faculty. We work to create a welcome uniquely suited to meet your needs:

Choose Your Primary Role

Full-time Instructor

Please be on the lookout for invitations from the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Teaching & Learning Center as we:

  1. Partner with you to identify and provide access to:

    1. Important º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø processes and resources you need to know about.
    2. The students, teachers, and learning environment at º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø.
    3. Key Canvas skills and course development you will need to be ready for day one of classes.
      • We prepared a very brief Canvas course to introduce you to these basics, and we'll work with you individually to identify and help you to attain your course development goals. Please . Note, you'll need your º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø credentials to log in. If you don't have them, please contact the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Help Desk.

  2. Continue to offer support, enrichment, and resources throughout your first teaching year with monthly activities and training provided by º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø learning designers.
