Consultations
Center consultants are happy to help faculty, as individuals or groups, think through ways to improve their students’ learning. Conversations might center around aspects such as course design, student evaluations, discussion-leading, lecturing, etc. To schedule an appointment, please use our online consultation request form.
Educational Technologies (e.g., Blackboard)
Center consultants often collaborate with colleagues in Educational Technologies to answer questions about teaching with technology. However, if you have a technical question about a specific tool (e.g., Blackboard, Adobe Creative Cloud, Turnitin) please schedule an appointment with an Educational Technologist by emailing askedtech@bu.edu. You can also find information about tech training on the TechWeb site.
Learning Analysis Poll
Around the semester midpoint it’s a good idea to solicit feedback from students about how the course is going, and the CTL’s Learning Analysis Poll can help. Learn more about LAPs.
In-Class Observations
Using a variety of observation techniques, CTL consultants can tailor an in-class observation so that instructors get specific and meaningful feedback about one or more aspects of their teaching. Learn more about In-Class Observations.
Workshop for a Department or Group
We have limited capacity to fulfill requests for group or department workshops at this time, but please reach out to us at ctl@bu.edu if you would like to have an exploratory conversation about future possibilities.
Confidentiality
All consultations and observations are for professional development purposes only. Learn how your privacy is protected.
