The Center for Teaching and Learning fosters a culture of excellence in teaching and learning. To encourage research and scholarship, CTL provides awards and funding for Service Learning, Teaching and Learning Fellowships, Online Course Development, and Videoconference (ITV) Course Development. CTL also offers professional development workshops throughout the academic year, and posts materials from these workshops and conferences. CTL supports Northeastern State University faculty by providing resources such as hardware, software, printed material, videos, instructional design consulting, and training for professional development. The Center also posts distance learning course evaluations.
Northeastern State University has joined the Oklahoma statewide subscription to the Quality Matters Program to promote and improve the quality of online education and student learning. We are currently in the process of rewriting distance learning policies to follow the Quality Matters rubric. The current online and video conference policies and compensation policies on this site were in effect until October 30,2011, and will be replaced soon. All requests for distance learning course development compensation for the 2011-2012 academic year were due by October 30, 2011 and should follow the current application/evaluation guidelines.
