Principles

Successful teaching and learning entails active exchange between teachers and learners. Office of Teaching and Learning units support this idea by helping faculty and students to:

• Learn how to identify, describe, and participate in communities of learners

• Define and understand how and why knowledge is created within different contexts, whether academic courses, workplaces, or other sites beyond the university

• Connect identities and commitments to academic study

• Activate sources of motivation, especially when encountering and working with challenges

• Use feedback, assessment, and evaluations to refine and improve teaching and learning
