Institute Spotlights

The Institute for Excellence in Teaching & Learning is currently engaged in several strategic cross-collaboration initiatives designed to strengthen and enhance the student and faculty experience.

Campus LX Transformation Initiative

Launched by the Institute and IS&T, in collaboration with faculty across BU’s schools and colleges, the goal of this initiative is to elevate and enhance our teaching and learning experiences through the use and adoption of technology. As part of this initiative, we will be working to update our core learning management system (LMS), with the goal of providing faculty with a strong framework and student experience to support their classroom teaching.

Enhancing Student Success in Large Classes

In collaboration with several programs in BU’s College of Arts and Sciences, the Institute is engaged in a multi-year initiative to redesign the student experience in large classes that typically have 100 or more students. This initiative provides an opportunity to reimagine and develop new approaches to course redesign, student assessment, classroom teaching techniques and the creation of instructional resources that promote engagement and learning in some of BU’s largest introductory courses.
