Centre for Teaching and Learning

The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) works with members of the campus community to enhance the practice, culture, and scholarship of teaching and learning; to support the integration of effective teaching practices and technologies that extend and enrich learning; and to support to instructors using the University's Learning Management System, Brightspace.

Brightspace

Brightspace is the University of Windsor’s campus-wide learning management system (LMS).

On-line synchronous and face-to-face workshops are available at the Centre for Teaching and Learning. For a full description of courses and topics contained within them, visit CTL's Brightspace workshops webpage.

For self-paced learning, view recordings of past workshops or find How-to documents and videos on UWindsor’s Brightspace support webpages.

Support for students can also be found at uwindsor.ca/brightspace.

GATA Network

The GATA Network is a collaborative initiative supported jointly by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) within the University of Windsor. The Network strives to create mentorship opportunities and teaching and learning resources to support graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants (GAs and TAs) with improving their pedagogical knowledge and skills.

The GATA Network offers large-scale professional development events to current and prospective GAs/TAs. These events also provide transformative leadership opportunities to experienced assistants who develop and lead workshops.

The Centre for Teaching and Learning is located in the Centre for Engineering Innovation (CEI) into the space formerly occupied by the Windsor Essex Economic Development Corporation, on the first and second floors of the building on the eastern side of California Avenue, directly across from the parking garage.

Your direct contact is Jessica Raffoul, Director, Centre for Teaching and Learning.
