Looking for Faculty Support?

Whether you’re designing a new course, refining your teaching practice, or exploring educational technology, our team is here to help.

For course design, teaching strategies, and professional development — reach out to a Director from our Faculty Programs and Services (FPS) team. We can support you with curricular design, assessment, inclusive teaching practices, departmental workshops, teaching observations, and our full range of programs. Contact your FPS Director directly or email CTLfaculty@columbia.edu to schedule a consultation.

For CourseWorks and instructional technology — connect with the Learning Designer for your department or school. Our team helps with setting up courses in CourseWorks (Canvas), designing hybrid or online courses, providing expert feedback on your course builds, and integrating new classroom technologies. You can also reach our Associate Director for Instructional Design or email ColumbiaCTL@columbia.edu.
