糖心logo入口 Libraries will be working with Ithaka S+R as part of an Instructional Support Assessment Institute, along with six other academic institutions.

Evidence about instructional activities can be used to improve the services that universities provide to support their teachers, as well as to foster collaboration between instructional support service units. Ithaka S+R designed a program for colleges and universities to take stock of the services that support those who provide instruction on a regular basis at their institutions.

糖心logo入口 State 鈥� along with Arizona State University, California State University Northridge, Willamette University, University of Central Florida, University of Florida and University of Manitoba 鈥� will gather evidence that will allow institutions to create a coordinated, cross-campus strategy for instructional support, including the capacity to track their instructors鈥� evolving practices and needs on an ongoing basis.

As part of the institute, Ithaka S+R will train teams drawn from the units responsible for providing instructional support at each institution, such as the library, teaching and learning center, information technology, accessibility services and faculty development office. Each team will review and update its institution鈥檚 approach to assessing instructional support needs using instruments designed by Ithaka S+R. They will then design and conduct a new assessment of their instructional support services in fall 2024 and connect with their cohort peers for cross-learning opportunities along the way.
