Illinois State University’s dedicated faculty members are putting the finishing touches on their fall courses. The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology can help with consultations on a variety of teaching topics and special walk-in workshops during CTLT’s Faculty Prep Week, August 13–17.
Consultations
Need help finding creative ways to achieve your teaching goals this semester? How about help organizing your syllabus or making your course more welcoming for Illinois State’s diverse population of learners? Our experienced coordinators support teaching on a wide variety of topics. Email CTLT or call (309) 438-2542 to arrange a one-on-one appointment.
Walking-in workshops
While most workshops at CTLT require participants to sign up ahead of time, no registration is necessary for special sessions offered during Faculty Prep Week. Please note that parking is limited near our facility at 301 S. Main Street, so you’re encouraged to either walk or give yourself extra time to find a spot.

Clickers: Introduction
- Thursday, August 16 • 1 to 4 p.m.
Clickers are audience response devices which allow instructors to poll a face-to-face class in real time, displaying the results, and engaging students in their learning. Responses can be recorded and incorporated into grades in ReggieNet. You will explore the latest, cloud-based polling system from TurningPoint, the official vendor for campus. Discover how to integrate polls into your PowerPoint presentations to create interactive lectures and keep your students engaged in the course material.
