Teaching & Learning Innovations advances CSUCI’s mission by supporting faculty and cross-divisional units in developing effective, well-designed, research-based learning experiences, as well as administering learning technologies (e.g., Canvas, Zoom, PlayPosit, VoiceThread, and many others).
To do this work, TLi performs the following functions:

They also include online teaching preparation and course feedback.
Online & Blended Teaching & Learning Preparation
Whether you are new to teaching online or developing your practice of teaching with emerging technologies, we want to help you make informed decisions that improve the teaching and learning experience. Our learning designers have advanced knowledge of technology and pedagogy, as well as significant teaching experience.

Academic Technology Pilots
Teaching and learning tool discovery, procurement, administration, evaluation, training, user support, and maintenance. These are highly invisible, but important administrative processes that impact the entire campus. They involve partnerships with external vendors and cross-divisional campus collaborations. They also involve formal campus processes, including privacy, security, and accessibility reviews, as well as Senate, Cabinet, Legal, and Fiscal committee approvals.

Faculty Innovation Fellowships
This program is offered to provide faculty with the time and resources needed to design, develop, and implement creative learning experiences related to one of Teaching and Learning Innovations’ focus areas (e.g., creative exploration; boundary-testing; building a model). Fellows join the Teaching and Learning Innovations team for a 1-year period. During this time, they immerse themselves in their proposed project and examine the impact that the project has on student outcomes.
