Welcome to the Unizin Teaching & Learning Advisory Group

The Teaching & Learning Advisory Group is the “boots on the ground” component of the Unizin Consortium.  We share our perspectives to inform Unizin projects.

• The full group (or as many as can attend) meets twice yearly, either in-person or virtually.

• The T&L Advisory Group is made up of sub-committees (see next section), which explore specific topics. 

• Connection and collaboration are the core of the T&L Advisory Group.  Very much like a community of practice: we share best practices, lessons learned, frameworks, and foundation work that supports Unizin’s services and projects. 

• All are welcome and encouraged to join this group in order to receive information and announcements about Unizin activities.

T&L Advisory Group Charge (Version 2.0, 2019)

In order to enhance the development of teaching and learning tools and services in Unizin, the Unizin Teaching and Learning (T&L) Advisory Group is charged to:

• Provide recommendations to the Unizin Board for strategic priorities around teaching and learning.

• Respond to Unizin Board requests.

• Advise the Unizin CEO, and CTO, or other Unizin staff as appropriate about priorities and innovations to support teaching and learning across member institutions.

• Collaborate across institutions to share resources and best practices that support teaching and learning.

• Recommend improvements in services that may be suggested from the advisory group’s review of feedback from faculty, students, and staff. 

• Provide regular updates to the Unizin Board on the activities of the advisory group.

The best way to participate in the T&L group is to join one of the topic-based subcommittees. Meetings are typically held monthly and are led by chairs or co-chairs. T&L subcommittee members are welcome to attend the meetings of any subcommittee. To join a subcommittee, click the Join the Teaching & Learning Advisory Group button on this page and select the subcommittee(s) you would like to join from the list on the form. Once your submission has been processed you will be added to the mailing list and calendar invites for the subcommittees you selected.
