The purpose of the Advisory Council for Technology-enhanced Teaching (ACTT) is to create a network to discuss strategies for online and technology-enhanced teaching with colleagues across departments, colleges, and campuses and continues to focus on these topics after our return to in-person classes.
This council emerged as a product of conversations between the Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) and Learning Technologies (LT) about how to fortify support for online teaching for departments during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those without dedicated staff to assist with remote instruction.
Priorities
- Discuss observations and strategies for online and technology-enhanced teaching with colleagues from other departments, colleges, and campuses
- Share feedback on how to improve support for online and technology-enhanced teaching at the University of Washington
- Strengthen connections between UW departments and the teams that centrally support technology-enhanced teaching
- Cultivate awareness of resources offered by CTL, LT, and their partners, including evidence-based practices for teaching online or in person
- Identify and address emergent issues at the intersection of teaching and technology
- Additionally, members of the ACTT function as ambassadors between their home departments and the CTL/LT teams to provide departmental-level guidance on technology-enhanced teaching.
