Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment

The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CTLA) advances teaching and learning excellence at OHIO by providing University-wide resources and championing scholarly teaching that is student-centered, evidence-based, innovative and inclusive.

Newly expanded and relaunched in the fall 2022 semester, the CTLA serves instructors, departments, programs and colleges across the University. The CTLA's programming brings OHIO community members together to share ideas and expertise, implement evidence-based instructional strategies in various learning contexts and assess the effectiveness of teaching practices.

The CTLA's initiatives align with strategies and actions identified in the President's Dynamic Strategy by transforming the student learning experience through high-impact practices to best support intellectual growth and skill acquisition and promote learner development as individuals and engaged citizens.

Current CTLA Topics

AI and Teaching and Learning

This spring, the CTLA's Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Course Redesign Institute will move to an on-demand offering. All OHIO faculty will be invited to explore how GenAI can be infused into a course -- topically, as an instructional strategy, or as a significant support for student achievement of course learning outcomes. Visit the CTLA website for information on on-demand institute release date and how to participate.

Workshops in the series will cover a range of topics, including storytelling in the classroom, designing multi-section courses, leveraging alumni for student engagement, and utilizing peer-to-peer feedback.
