Fall 2025 Faculty Conference | Fri 8.15 & Mon 8.18
The Transparency in Learning and Teaching project (TILT) aims to advance equitable teaching and learning practices that reduce systemic inequities in higher education by promoting students' conscious understanding of how they learn and enabling faculty to gather, share, and promptly benefit from current data about students' learning by coordinating their efforts across disciplines, institutions, and countries.
*Since 2014-2015, TILT has partnered with the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
Why do I need this?
Why do I need this?
Have students ever said, "I don't know what to do for this assignment." Or are you having more students turn in exactly the opposite of what you asked for?
By focusing on the how and why of learning and assignments, TILT aims to close the equity gaps and challenges that are faced by first-generation and historically underrepresented students.
TILT's process facilitates unpacking, or making apparent, the hidden-curriculum of courses. By describing the Purpose, Task, and Criteria for Success of any given assignment, students have better access to the material and opportunity to succeed.
For templates, sample assignments, and tools for teachers across disciplines, see their resource page.
