Teaching Transformation and Development Academy (TTaDA)

The Teaching Transformation and Development Academy's goal is to make sure instructors have access to all the tools and strategies needed to design, develop, and implement courses that maintain educational continuity and minimize disruptions to students’ learning experiences by incorporating flexible strategies blending characteristics of “flipped classrooms,” digital technologies, hybrid teaching practices, virtual classrooms, and in-person instruction.

The Fall 2020 Course Planning webpage includes recommended tools and strategies, timelines to help you schedule your course development plans, and contact information for TTaDA support specialists in Instructional Design and Academic Technologies.  To learn more about Blackboard and other academic technologies please sign up for one of the workshops listed below or view our recorded workshops and other resources.
