Our Centre’s work is guided by four key pillars that support teaching, learning, and academic quality across the college.

The CTL supports program and course quality assurance by:

  • Providing course developers with resources and feedback;
  • Providing administrators and committees with resources and help during program development;
  • Helping administrators report program changes to the Government of Alberta;
  • Helping administrators implement program review processes; and
  • Maintaining up-to-date program plans and data.

The CTL helps to advance the quality of teaching and learning by:

  • Helping administrators and faculty oversee SoTL and OER grant programs;
  • Providing professional development training to new and existing faculty;
  • Advancing Keyano strategic goals related to teaching and learning, including Sustainable Development
  • Goals and Indigenization; and
  • Establishing and maintaining spaces for faculty to collaborate and engage in professional development

The CTL helps faculty effectively apply learning and online technologies by:

  • Training faculty to use new learning technologies;
  • Helping faculty use Moodle;
  • Managing the Library’s learning technologies that faculty borrow;
  • Training and supporting faculty in the effective use of AI; and
  • Supporting research and application of new learning technologies at Keyano.

The CTL helps Keyano maintain a strong learning community by:

  • Collecting data and reporting on faculty needs and feedback related to improving teaching and learning;
  • Improving CTL’s reputation, visibility, and presence through such efforts as signage, newsletters, and continuous improvement of its programs and services;
