Created in 2016 to both honor and renew the university’s longstanding tradition of outstanding teaching and bold educational experimentation, the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL) supports all who teach at UC Santa Cruz to create effective and inclusive learning environments with the tools available to us now.
These tools include a primary commitment to equity and accessibility so that every student can thrive; teaching practices based in the most innovative research on effective teaching and learning in higher education; and a wide range of educational technologies that can enhance student learning in the classroom and beyond. By providing professional development opportunities, sharing teaching resources, and building teaching and learning communities, the CITL aims to support a vibrant culture of teaching and learning at UC Santa Cruz.
