The purpose of the CTL Academic Advisory Council is to provide a channel for collaboration, feedback and guidance among academic units and the Center for Teaching and Learning. This includes guidance on Instructional Technology (related to the best use and support of technology) and on Faculty/Student Success (related to pedagogy and best practices) that would be appropriate and beneficial in supporting faculty in the classroom, web-enhanced classroom, and online learning environments. Specifically, the AAC will provide such feedback and guidance as it relates to:
- Applicability to the instructional needs of UAB faculty and students
- Breadth of potential use and adoption by faculty
- Effectiveness (demonstrated through pilot projects, faculty experience, teams, work groups, etc.)
- Ongoing support availability both at the school/college and University levels
- Funding Priorities
