About us
Quinnipiac Innovations in Learning and Teaching (QILT) is the outcome of the integration of the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and the Office of Learning Design and Technology (LDT) in academic affairs at Quinnipiac University. We are an educational excellence center that aims to improve teaching and learning across all formats - online, in-person, and hybrid. We collaborate with faculty members from all nine schools and colleges, assisting a diverse range of departments and programs in enhancing their instructional practices and enriching student learning experiences.
Our team comprises experts in learning design, media, technology, and teaching and educational development, promoting innovative pedagogical strategies and technology to create engaging and effective educational experiences. Our guiding mission is to develop and continuously refine curricula that cater to the needs of today's dynamic learning environments. By promoting a culture of innovation and inclusive teaching, we help faculty adopt evidence-based educational practices that are both forward-thinking and adaptable.
In support of creating a dynamic and supportive community for Quinnipiac educators, our unit also includes faculty initiatives such as the Quinnipiac University Writing and Critical Thinking (QUWACT) program, Inclusive Excellence in Teaching Lab (IETL), and the contributions of faculty fellows in academic affairs. These initiatives promote excellence and foster an academic environment that values collaboration, sharing of best practices, and continual improvement.
