Examples of the consultation types, small group activities, and training sessions we facilitate include:
- Individual lesson planning with new instructors.
- Coordinating opportunities for new instructors to visit and observe other CSI instructors in their classrooms.
- Monthly, virtual sessions demonstrating what is new in Canvas.
- Zoom-based sessions each semester where faculty show and tell what they are doing for student success in Canvas.
We’re also happy to share the following anonymous comments our CSI instructors have shared with us after we’ve partnered with them. If you’d like to share feedback or suggestions with us, please use the comment box to do so!
- The individual consultation option totally changed my online learning course design. I am so much happier with how it looks and the simplicity of its use for students.
- Transitioning from industry to academia is difficult. TLC has provided the support I need to be successful - or at least work towards successful - in a meaningful way. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you all do for faculty. Thank you.
- The TLC reviewed my online class, gave critical feedback, helped me organize, plan, and make material more available to learners.
- TLC has helped me learn how to use teaching tools and incorporate them into my classes.
- I gained some help on making Canvas more palatable to my students.
- TLC has helped me problem solve and find better ways to reach students.
- Exposes me to new strategies, assists me in reflecting, and connects me to colleagues. I always walk away with a nugget that can improve my teaching, be it online or in person.
- The TLC has allowed me to look at my teaching in a more holistic approach.
- Learning the Canvas program has helped some but I need more. It is very hard to manage with time and schedules.
- The Canvas "Show-and-Tell" session have been very helpful in seeing what other instructors do in Canvas. I've implemented many of them in my Canvas courses. I also met individually with a TLC learning designer to "clean-up" my courses with improved way finding methods. These were a HUGE help in making things easier to navigate for my students.
- I have appreciated the help that the TLC has given me. I would have appreciated the same sort of help when I was adjunct. I am glad that you are including them more now.
