Services

Consulting

The CTL provides a variety of consulting services, including working with faculty on course development, program reviews, course objectives, as well as course reviews or revisions. If you have a problem area in one of your courses, we have a solution.

Technical

The CTL can help you evaluate your course and find appropriate technical solutions for problems you may be encountering. Additionally, we provide editing services. If you have large sections of written content in your course, the CTL can help you ensure that it's presented in a way that students can easily understand.

Production

The CTL produces a variety of course elements, including video, audio, and text-based content. If you want to create a course-related video series; audio segments; or large content pieces including text and visual elements, contact the CTL through myCU.

Professional Development

The CTL produces materials, seminars, and workshops to help faculty grow in their craft. Previous sessions can be found on FOCUS or the Teaching at CU course. Future sessions will be announced through Campus Today.
