Learning Analytics and Assessment
Course-level learning data, Canvas analytics to learning assessment, can paint a picture of the learner experience. The UTLC will help you explore course-level data and develop learning assessments to improve course development and teaching/learning practice.
Student Development
Learner identity and personal development are essential to learning growth. The UTLC can help departments explore generational shifts in learner needs and the impacts to teaching.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a research-based framework grounded in scientific insights on how humans learn and used to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all. The UTLC can assist departments in exploring and applying the UDL Guidelines.
Using Case Studies
Case studies are an excellent strategy for increasing learner engagement and application of critical skills. The UTLC can support units in using case studies, including case development to scaffolding case depth.
