Faculty Learning Communities

Learning Communities

Learning Communities are interdisciplinary groups of instructors devoted to exploring a specific area of teaching. Typically, learning communities meet 3-4 times a semester and work toward a goal, product, or publication. Contact us if you have ideas for learning communities.

 

• AI Teaching Circle

  The AI Teaching Circle is an informal, collaborative space for instructors to share resources, teaching strategies, and questions related to generative AI and academic integrity. Join us in the CTE faculty lounge or via Zoom to explore tools, discuss classroom challenges, exchange ideas, and learn alongside colleagues. No special AI experience is needed, and all perspectives are welcome.

Communities of Practice

A Community of Practice is a group of individuals who "share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly." (Wikipedia definition)

These groups do not so much learn together as practice building certain skills or habits together.

Communities of Support
