Overview
The X would like to build a university-wide collection that will
provide theory, resources, examples, and training for faculty to
develop online, hybrid, and flipped learning environments; the
collection should be developed such that it is accessible to a broad
range of disciplines, faculty, and pedagogical approaches.
Objectives
Discovering appropriate formats to reach faculty is our biggest
challenge. STEM faculty, for example, appreciate real use cases
presented by their colleagues, and to be provided with guiding
principles. This is a unique opportunity for Xs Center for
Teaching and Learning to:

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
A diverse and large number of experienced and qualified staff who have
successfully partnered with faculty and developed resources across
numerous disciplines using a vast array of technologies and formats
Opportunities
To develop new methods and formats for engaging X faculty to
advance teaching and learning
To build partnerships with other campus centers
To grow awareness of faculty needs for teaching and learning in
untouched areas of the campus
Weaknesses
Faculty at research institutions are unlikely to have time or interest in
the types of resources and workshops that are traditionally offered by
CTLs nationwide
Threats
Campus centers may want ownership to develop the resources and
training for modules that are in-demand for specific disciplines (i.e.,
digital humanities modules for humanities faculty)

Executive Notes:
Step 1 Research: Synthesize the environmental scan. What is the ontology/ make site maps of
what a CTL page looks like at other CTLs? Maps and Screenshots (April 8, 2015)
Step 2 Discuss: Meeting to agree on features of resource sharing (spring 2015, mid-April)
Step 3 Plan (Collect): produce form to submit pages from current website or list of materials that
could be shared (summer 2015)
Step 4 Organize selected existing resources (summer 2015)
Step 5 Plan (Develop): New Resourceswhat resources dont we have that wed want to make?
(after site launch, ongoing/ TBD)
