Would you like to learn more about effective teaching practices based on the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) Effective Practice Framework?  The ACUE courses focus on innovative and evidence-based teaching strategies and the creation of productive learning environments. They cover a wide range of topics that range from creating powerful learning outcomes and motivating your students to strategies for engaging students and implementing higher-order thinking.

What Is My Commitment?

The courses are delivered within an online platform for the delivery of content and are presented asynchronously. During the courses, instructors will think about their own course, attempt to implement new or expanded skills, and reflect on the effectiveness of those changes. ACUE estimates faculty will spend 2-3 hours per week on coursework.
