TEACHING AND LEARNING SERVICES
As redesigned programs rapidly pass review, faculty members have an idea of the semester-long classes they’ll
be teaching in 2013. If you’re thinking about your semester courses and want to explore design ideas, visit
Teaching & Learning Services on the lower level of The Wallace Center in A650. During our walk-in hours…
Thursdays, 1PM – 3PM
Fridays, 9AM - 11AM
…you don’t need an appointment to talk with one of our Instructional Design Consultants about course design
or other conversion issues. You can also look at ways to integrate academic technologies or media into your
course.
Comments or questions can be directed to the Academic Calendar Conversion Office [email protected].
