Center For Learning & Teaching - CLT at Champlain College

Center For Learning & Teaching - CLT at Champlain College The Center for Learning & Teaching (CLT) supports Champlain College faculty members with all aspects of their teaching and professional development.

We serve faculty members at any experience level so that they can thrive as instructors. Appointments and walk-in consultations are available to all Champlain faculty (full-time and part-time) and academic staff. Make an appointment through our website for help at your convenience. As long as Covid allows, we will offer both in-person and virtual consultations. Faculty and staff with urgent Canvas

questions are encouraged to use Canvas's 24/7 tech support. Contact information can be found in Canvas under "Help". Canvas design and Champlain-specific questions, as well as questions about other educational technology, can be sent to [email protected] (monitored M-F). For course design, pedagogy, and professional development inquiries, please make an appointment! The CLT offers many professional growth, training, and continuing education events including technology trainings, faculty peer advice panels, semester-length learning communities, reading and writing groups, and more. All CLT events created through this page will also appear in your Champlain calendar; for webinars, joining information will be provided through the calendar and not Facebook. Educators from other Vermont institutions who are interested in attending a CLT event should email [email protected] to discuss.
