Events and Programs
The TLR Group organizes a variety of events for faculty throughout the year, including the Teaching, Research and Technology Workshops, held every August, the Ann Ferren Conference, held every January, Noontime Conversations on key issues in education, held three times per semester, and New Faculty Orientations preceding the fall, spring and summer semesters. The TLR Group also coordinates the Greenberg Seminars for graduate students considering a teaching career, and the AU Entrée Workshops for first and second-year full-time faculty.
Green Teaching
As a professor, do you teach in an environmentally friendly way? If you model this to your class or ask your students to reflect upon their own actions and choices, you may qualify to be a certified "Green Teacher," joining more than 300 AU faculty who have been certified.
Workshops and Tutorials
Through the Technology in the Classroom Series, the TLR Group offers hands-on workshops on the pedagogical use of digital media in the classroom. These workshops are held throughout the year. Our staff also provides individual consultations and one-one-one tutorials on teaching pedagogy, instructional technology, and teaching-related computer software.
Teaching Resources
The TLR Group also offers a number of other Teaching Resources, such as a Best Practices Guide to exploring innovative and creative ways to engage students in the learning process, a New Faculty Guide, and individualized pedagogical consultations.
