Projects

The following represent major projects UTLT sub-committees have completed. They are ordered from newest to oldest.

Learning Tech

The Digital Ecosystem subcommittee developed the Learning Tech website, which is an innovative, searchable catalog of tools. The catalog provides vital information about the tool’s pedagogical purposes, functions, availability, and support options. Each tool is described in the context of its practical applications for teaching and learning, from fostering a range of learning activities and improving assessment and evaluation processes to encouraging increased student engagement and collaboration. Tools can be rated and requested directly through the site.

Status: on-going development


Small Change, Big Impact

The Online Teaching & Learning subcommittee has developed Small Change, Big Impact, an expansive repository of short videos that share the small yet meaningful ways instructors across UVA are engaging students, building community in their courses, and maximizing UVA's learning technologies—during the pandemic and beyond.

Status: completed but accepting new stories
