Center for Teaching and Learning

Educational quality at the Bloomberg School goes beyond the unrivaled caliber of our faculty and students. Here, excellence in public health teaching is a science. The Center for Teaching and Learning team is dedicated to applying evidence-based methods and professionally produced tools to help instructors create a rich and inspiring learning environment.

Our instructional designers, web developers, technical writers, medical illustrators, and audio and video specialists collaborate with subject-matter experts to produce state-of-the-art academic and training courses as well as open educational resources on health-related topics. They equip our faculty with the latest tools and best practices for student engagement, accessibility, learning assessment, and course management—for both online and on-campus learning.

Here are some of the ways the Center supports the Bloomberg School:

• Collaborating in designing, developing, producing, and delivering courses
• Consulting with faculty regarding content delivery, learning assessments, and increasing student engagement
• Training faculty, students, and staff in teaching techniques and course-management technologies
• Supporting the School's efforts to provide every person with lifelong learning opportunities to satisfy their curiosity, enhance their skills, and deepen their expertise at any stage of life. Lifelong learning opportunities are available through open educational resources or massive open online courses (MOOCs) and can be found on Coursera and CoursePlus.
• Collaborating with faculty to produce online training programs for delivery via CoursePlus to a wide variety of external audiences
