The Center For Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL), in collaboration with campus
partners, facilitates faculty development programming throughout the year. Our flagship
event is May Our Turn, a time in which faculty voluntarily offer training and enrichment
sessions to their peers in a variety of academic and skill areas.
Training
The CITL staff provides teaching and learning opportunities in a variety of instructional
technology and technique skill areas via classroom instruction, online tutorials and
individual consultation. Dr. Heather Keith has created a Course Innovation Checklist. Faculty consultations have often led to larger-scale research and learning projects
that have greatly enhanced the learning process for both faculty and their students.
Faculty seeking training for themselves or their students -- as well as individual
students or groups -- can contact CITL via email (citl@radford.edu), phone (540-831-5984) or by stopping by McConnell 271 to arrange a time to discuss
needs, arrange a consultation or workshop session.
Our Turn
Our Turn is an opportunity for faculty, staff, and professionals to come together as a teaching and learning community to discuss best teaching practices, offer enrichment and professional development opportunities, and learn about new technologies and initiatives on campus. Our flagship Our Turn event takes place in May, the week after finals. CITL currently offers smaller Our Turn events in August and January. When Our Turn is near, faculty will receive an email, and CITL maintains a Registration site for faculty to peruse sessions and register online.
