Faculty Institutes and Intensives
The CTL offers Institutes and Intensives both asynchronously (self-paced) and synchronously (live sessions) that address multiple teaching formats—face-to-face, online, and hybrid/blended. Topics range from broader teaching approaches to in-depth looks at specific teaching strategies and skills.
These synchronous and asynchronous opportunities provide a space for faculty to develop new teaching approaches, applications, and skills with guidance from CTL staff in an immersive, supportive environment.
Adapt Your Course to a Flexible Format
Hybrid & Online Teaching Institute
The CTL has developed the Hybrid & Online Teaching Institute: an online offering that guides faculty through adapting their courses from face-to-face to online or hybrid formats. This offering provides instructors a foundation that can serve across all formats of teaching with the capacity to adapt quickly to whatever mode of teaching makes the most sense at any given time. The institute provides faculty with a comprehensive toolkit they can apply to their own course context whether this may be a seminar, small lecture, or large lecture class.
For: all Columbia faculty
Format: mix of self-paced and live sessions
