Curriculum Development and Quality Assurance
The Office of the Vice-Provost (Academic and Global Learning) oversees curriculum development and the quality assurance process for all academic programs. It is responsible for developing a culture of continuous improvement for Carleton’s academic programs and advancing the strategic academic initiatives of the university.
Teaching and Learning Services
Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) supports Carleton University’s faculty members, contract instructors, teaching assistants and educational support staff in all facets of teaching and learning to empower students to succeed in the classroom and beyond. This ranges from pedagogical advice and training, support with educational technology tools, in-classroom support and both online and in-person event support.
Future Learning Lab and Experiential Learning Hub
Carleton’s Future Learning Lab is located on the 4th floor of MacOdrum Library and offers a modern, student-centred physical and virtual space for instructors to innovate with pedagogical design, as well as enhanced individual, group and collaborative study spaces for students. The Lab hosts a set of programs designed to foster innovation and incentivize student-centred ways of teaching, foster student and instructor partnerships, and encourages undergraduate research opportunities through the Students as Partners Program and the Internship-Carleton University Research Experience for Undergraduate Students.
Our Experiential Learning Hub on the 6th floor of Southam Hall features a Teaching Studio, a Creation Studio, and an Experience Studio. We help instructors turn teaching obstacles into opportunities, leveraging immersive learning and digital media creation to design powerful student experiences.
The Future Learning Lab is also home to the FUSION Skill Development Program, an initiative that consists of a series of seven skill development online modules for students to build competencies in problem solving, communication, collaboration, adaptability, inclusivity, metacognition, and self-management.
Teaching Recognition
The Office of the Vice-Provost (Academic and Global Learning) administers several university-wide teaching awards in recognition of instructors who aim to help achieve our institutional commitment to teaching and learning through their dedication to teaching excellence and innovation. Our office can also support you in developing your applications for both internal and external awards and grant opportunities.
