What's CITL?
CITL?
The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. Or, you can think of us as
C, IT and L. Think
of C as for Curriculum Design and Technology. IT, well, IT, aka
Information Technology. And L can remind you of our Learning Resource Center
(Library, as we used to call it). We have joined these three strategic areas
within LETU into one center we call the CITL—the Center for Innovation in
Teaching and Learning.
Our
vision is to engage innovation in teaching and learning through information,
instructional and educational technology and library and information science.
That’s a mouthful.
As
we know, technology is everywhere—whether you find it with our engineers, our aeronautical
sciences, our educational faculty and staff, our business programs, all
throughout the arts
and science and into our proposed nursing program.
With
our new center, we welcome two new directors. Dr.
Colleen Halupa
and Mrs.
Leslie Bowman. Colleen
is serving as our Director of our Curriculum Design and Technology area. She is
our CITL newsletter editor along with leading the CITL with our faculty in
instructional and education technology. She will be conducting pedagogy training
workshops for faculty to better use technology in the classroom to improve
student learning outcomes. She is an experienced educator, having led
educational programs for the U.S. Air Force.
Leslie
is leading our Learning Resource Center as our library director. She has
experience training students, faculty and staff in information literacy and
educational technology, having organized training in collaborative learning
techniques, project-based instruction, SMART boards, student response systems ,
Microsoft Office products and iPads. She
is also making some marvelous advances in the library space, so if you haven’t
stopped by yet, please do.
We
covet your prayers for our Center. Our
goal is that we will serve each of you well with the talents and gifts God has
in His mercy bestowed on us. We exist to serve each of you as professionals of
Christ-like character who understanding our work as our holy calling with
eternal impact.
We also covet your ideas. No idea is too small. No idea is too big. Send me or any of our directors, Colleen, Leslie, Ken Johnson, Michael Davis or Kristin Ater your ideas for innovation.
Here are our contact numbers for those ideas (continue to use 3500 for all technical support):

IT—Technology Support —3500
