This portfolio includes learning management systems, instructional technology support and design, assessment and learning analytics, lecture capture, learning spaces management, and polling and surveys.
The Teaching and Learning Technologies portfolio will enable the design, delivery, and assessment of curriculum with expertise, technology, and support consistently meeting student and faculty expectations.
The Teaching & Learning Systems roadmap lays out where we currently are and where we expect to be in the coming months and years. This roadmap will be updated regularly to reflect changing industry standards and changing needs within the University, but the overall trajectory should be predictable from semester to semester.
(Placeholder for roadmap. Sarah is determining a consistent approach for portfolio-level roadmaps. This will be link to an excel document, preview of Power BI report, Image of roadmap, etc.)

Transitioning OHIO's Learning Management System to Canvas will allow better consistency for how students access course materials, and a more intuitive way for faculty to leverage technology in teaching and learning.
Focus on learning space technology design and support will allow us to make sure learning spaces are modern, ready, and functional when needed.
This will allow us to understand the university’s changing needs, the industry’s changing offerings, and to establish a technology ecosystem that meets teaching and learning needs, as well as promotes fiscal responsibility.
In collaboration with the Campus Space Optimization Initiative, established, tested, implemented, and assessed learning space design principles in two learning spaces. This allows us to create more consistency in learning space design in the future, focusing on the user experience.
Implemented a new online course evaluation platform, Blue by Explorance, Inc. This underscored the need for alignment and institutional support on student evaluations of teaching (SET) practices.
Launched phase 1 of the new Learning Management System. This allowed us to have a pilot group of 1500 students and 55 faculty test the system so we can adapt our training, support, and configuration to best meet the university’s needs.
