The Center for Teaching and Learning promotes student learning by supporting and strengthening UW teaching. We focus on evidence-based teaching, building global classrooms, and sustaining equitable learning communities. Through the use of peer learning & peer mentoring approaches, we collaborate with groups of faculty members, teaching assistants, graduate instructors, staff educators, and post-doctoral students.
UW-IT Help
One of the best resources for information and help with online tools is UW Information Technology, or UW-IT. They have many online tutorials and help pages on a variety of topics and tools (ranging from email, UW licensed software, classroom management technologies such as Canvas, lecture capture tools such as Panopto, and videoconferencing software such as Zoom). They are also an invaluable source for seeking help with these tools. Visit their help page online https://itconnect.uw.edu/help/ or email them at help@uw.edu.
