Teaching and Learning Exchange
The Teaching and Learning Exchange (TLX) provides a space for educators and instructional staff to investigate and experiment with educational technologies, discover best practices for integrating technology into courses, and enhance their teaching practice through collaboration with CITL staff and peers. Our model classroom, which includes the technology found in the standard on-campus classroom, is open to drop-in visitors, making it a great place to come for a change in scenery and a quiet work environment.
Consult with our Instructional Designers and Learning Technology Coaches about several aspects of teaching and learning, including:
- Best practices for teaching (on campus and online).
- Educational technologies.
- Instructional design.
- Curriculum development.
