University Resources

Academic Technologies

The office of Academic Technologies provides information technology for instructors, such as audio-visual equipment; supporting media classrooms, which may be reserved through the registrar; and managing Chalk, where instructors can post online course materials, syllabi, assignments, and tests for their students.

Center for Teaching and Learning

The Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to helping new and experienced instructors increase their practical and theoretical knowledge of university teaching. The center serves faculty and students teaching in the College and across the four graduate divisions primarily through workshops, seminars, and conferences that address topics ranging from theories of education to hands-on application of techniques, from basic teaching strategies to the use of new technologies. The center also provides a number of resources. Graduate students will especially benefit from teaching and midterm course evaluations, the certificate in university teaching, and the online tutorial.

Film Study Center

The Film Study Center includes an auditorium and seminar room used for film classes and houses the Gerald Mast Film Archive, an expanding collection of over 10,000 film, video, and disc titles available for teaching, study, and research purposes.

Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar offers on-line access to class lists and grade rosters, information on grading including quarterly deadlines, and course information and related documents, including college course evaluations.

Regenstein Library Course Reserves

Instructors can ask that print materials for courses be placed on reserve at the Regenstein Library. These may include materials in the library's collection, articles, lecture notes, and short book chapters.

Teaching Portfolio Resources

The University's Writing Program has gathered together links to four kinds of teaching portfolio resources: 1) online articles about teaching portfolios; 2) comprehensive sites, which explain in detail how graduate students and faculty can assemble a portfolio and how institutions use portfolios in hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions; 3) bibliographies and lists of portfolio-related links; 4) less comprehensive sites, which give brief advice on assembling a teaching portfolio.
