NMU's Center for Teaching and Learning
The Center for Teaching and Learning facilitates excellence in classroom and online instruction and promotes scholarship of teaching and learning by providing professional development, tools, and other supporting services.
Support & Consultation
The CTL provides consultation on teaching techniques and course design and supports faculty use of the NMU EduCat learning management system and other teaching and learning technologies. Learn more about these services through the website, make an appointment with your department's CTL liaison, or stop by the CTL to see us.
Professional Development
Throughout the year, the Center for Teaching and Learning offers opportunities for faculty to engage in professional development related to teaching. These include workshops and multi-day institutes on pedagogy and instructional technology, special events such as guest speakers, and ongoing programs such as Learning Circles, Faculty Learning Communities, the Online Teaching Fellows initiative, and the New Faculty Network.
Introducing Ally
Ally is an EduCat tool that helps address accessibility and universal design. It was added to EduCat between the Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 semesters in order to provide faculty with assistance in ensuring their courses are accessible and to provide students with alternative content formats to help meet their individual learning needs and preferences.
