Teaching Highlights & Showcases

The Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on Scholarly Teaching will offer faculty at all ranks the opportunity to produce evidence of teaching effectiveness that goes beyond student evaluations in order to ultimately support student success and outcomes. 

Findings from faculty SoTL projects can be used as evidence of scholarly teaching in promotion and tenure reviews, contract renewals, and for data-informed improvement of future course offerings.

Removing the affective and cognitive barriers from learning to provide a pathway towards a more equitable learning experience for all students

Enhance your online teaching skills with the Certificate for Online Instruction, a comprehensive program designed to equip educators with the tools and strategies needed to deliver engaging and effective online courses.

The Course Design Academy focused on re-imagining faculty's teaching and their students’ learning through backward design. Selected participants across all teaching modalities (face-to-face, online, blended) and disciplines engaged in a fully online, asynchronous learning experience over four weeks.  

Join us for a day of inspiration, collaboration, and innovation as we celebrate the incredible work of educators. Connect with colleagues, explore innovative teaching practices, and gain fresh insights to enhance your impact in the classroom.

There are numerous examples of teaching and learning excellence at Humboldt. This university is known for it and it remains one of our greatest assets. The purpose of the Faculty Stories is to make visible the work we do as educators: to recognize our efforts, and to share it with our colleagues.

This showcase highlights instructors' exploration of the opportunities and challenges of Ungrading— an approach that includes a variety of ways to evaluate students' learning while removing the anxiety of a grade, hence putting the focus on learning. The goal of each project engaged discovery by trying new approaches, sharing with colleagues, and creating opportunities for ongoing critical reflection of practice.

Explore the showcase of disciplinary-based projects from the Course Transformation Institute (CTI), an annual CTL program that supports instructors in re-imagining teaching and their students’ learning! We are excited to share colleagues work to inspire others.

Explore a variety of digital activities, assignments, assessments, and artifacts that were created and shared by Humboldt colleagues who participated in the Pivot to Online Learning faculty development courses in Summer 2020 and Summer 2021. This collection is shared for ideas and for repurposing in your own courses.
