Inclusive Teaching Workshop Series
OTEI offers a workshop series on inclusivity and active learning, culturally responsive assessment, and teaching inclusive content (this is recommended as a two part session). We are developing "short bites" from this series so that you can bring these topics to a department meeting. Colleges and departments can schedule any of these topics. Contact OTEI to inquire.
Assignment Design
For Clemson's TILT initiatives, one of our main targets is Assignment Design, with a primary focus on Signature Assignments in General Education. In collaboration with the program, we offer a Learning-Focused Assignment Design course in which you may self-enroll at any time. For additional support in assignment design, reach out to otei@clemson.edu.
Enrollment for the assignment design course is paused for course edits
Universal Design for Learning and Teaching
OTEI is excited to offer an asynchronous opportunity through Canvas: Implementing UDL. By taking part in the course, you will learn about the UDL approach and access practical teaching advice ready for implementation. You are welcome to self-enroll in the course any time.

We are moving to phase 3 with a focus on mental health with instructor and acting director of the Pearce Center Ashley Fisk. Fisk's students are working with OTEI as well as Healthy Campus director Jennifer Gore. The goal of this multi-year project is to capture the current state of academic learning at Clemson, highlight and communicate the teaching and learning practices most beneficial to today’s student and project future directions for course-based learning. You can locate the 2018 Gen Z results and resources from students on our Gen Z student page.

Teaching with Transparency
The Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation offers training in a national program called TILT: Transparency in Learning and Teaching. The TILT Higher Education initiative is directed by Dr. Maryanne Winkelhmes and supported by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). TILT assists instructors of all ranks in learning about and incorporating new, evidenced-based ideas into their teaching practice. Clemson TILT supports ClemsonElevate by assisting instructors in offering clear paths to student learning. Participants will commit to making small instructional changes in a course during the academic year.
