Reimagination and Relaunch

In the fall 2022, the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CTLA) was relaunched as a revitalization and expansion of the University’s Center for Teaching & Learning as the University emerged from instruction delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic and the collective desire to continue providing rich and meaningful learning experiences at OHIO.

Reimagining the CTLA was undertaken by the Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Committee. The result was a commitment to leveraging pedagogical and scholarly expertise of faculty, staff and units across the University, as well as the expansion of support for development of skill sets in assessment of student learning and current assessment efforts, especially for the BRICKS General Education Program.
