Center for Teaching & Learning Design
About the CTLD
The Center for Teaching & Learning Design (CTLD) supports innovative and effective teaching and learning practices to increase student academic success by collaborating with faculty throughout the UArts community. As a unit within the University Libraries, we are dedicated to supporting and engaging faculty in the development of evidence-based and inclusive learning design to enrich students' academic experiences.
The CTLD promotes the integration of instructional technologies and creative pedagogies to enhance teaching and learning, and serves as the administrative and support center for Canvas, the university's learning management system. With a sharp focus on inclusion, particularly in the expanding digital space, the CTLD also offers digital accessibility services that support instructors' endeavors to provide all students with equitable opportunities for academic and artistic success.
