About the TLC

Who we are:

The education and media professionals at the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) offer innovative practices to enhance the student experience at SFU. In strategic partnerships with the university community, we celebrate the creative culture of the teaching and learning network on all three campuses.

 

What we do

The programs, services, and supports offered at the TLC are personalized and incorporate general and discipline-specific approaches. At the TLC, you will find specialists in:

  • Educational consultation
  • Learning technologies and webcasting
  • Photography and videography
  • Programming to enhance your teaching
  • Web and communication design

 

We collaborate with SFU instructors, graduate students who intend to teach, administrators, and staff to promote the highest quality learning experiences for SFU students. In addition to working with the SFU community, our expert in-house media team also offers its services to internal and external clients at competitive rates.

 

Our Priorities

We are part of the university-wide cultural shift towards a greater emphasis on teaching and learning. In 2010, the TLC adjusted its priorities to better reflect our dedication to providing the highest calibre learning experience for SFU students. Our focus is on providing “one stop, one step” for the teaching and learning community.

We can work with you on a range of topics, including:

  • Teaching large classes
  • Syllabus and curriculum development
  • First-time teaching
  • Crafting assignments and evaluation
  • Diversity in the classroom
  • Media services
  • Social media as a learning tool
  • Web and learning technology support
  • Student engagement
  • Teaching dossiers

 

How we keep you informed

On our website, you will find news features, information about TLC programming, services, and supports, as well as a variety of resources. Our TLC team profile page lets you get to know our staff better, while the monthly TLC Email Update provides a regular opportunity to learn more about upcoming TLC offerings.

In collaboration with the university community, we are also bringing together stories from across the university in a quarterly Teaching and Learning News Bulletin that highlights articles from the Teaching and Learning News blog. The blog and the bulletin have become a key tool connecting the teaching and learning network.
