FAQs for Faculty

 The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is located in the Wiley Hall Lobby (faculty lounge and work area) and Classroom 102 (in-person workshop location). 

The CTL office is located in Wiley 101. To enter this building from the side entrance, you will need an active Flagler College ID. The front door is locked. If you need assistance, please email ctl@flagler.edu to make arrangements. 

THE CTL offers a variety of resources and services for all faculty and instructional staff. Some of the most common services include (but are not limited to):

Outstanding! We are always looking for faculty mentors to support our new faculty and staff instructors. Mentors are typically paired in late July and early August. 

Please reach out to ctl@flagler.edu for more information on becoming a faculty mentor.

The CTL is more than happy to assist in Canvas Course Design; however, it is recommended that you first contact our Online Learning Specialists at online@flagler.edu. For technical support, contact Canvas Support (instructions here) or enroll in the Flagler College training resource for faculty using Canvas for face-to-face and online learning.

Outstanding! The CTL is an excellent outlet for engaging with other faculty and staff instructors for sharing and building knowledge, experience, and pedagogical insights (and is a high-leverage practice!). 

The CTL schedule is finalized each year in August. Please send a title, a brief two to three-sentence description, and at least three possible scheduling options to ctl@flagler.edu no later than July 15th to be considered.
