Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TiLT) is a course design model that clearly and explicitly communicates course purposes, tasks, and criteria to students. Research shows that it enhances student confidence and belonging which leads to increased student learning and course completion. Start the fall semester with practical strategies to reduce DFWs and increase student retention! Applications are due on Monday, June 16.
Join us August 6, 7, 8, & 11 to make your course more transparent.
