The Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) is a welcoming community dedicated to supporting faculty in their pursuit of teaching excellence. We partner with instructors at every stage of their teaching journey, helping them explore innovative, evidence-based approaches that enhance student learning and engagement. Whether you are refining an existing course, designing a new learning experience, or exploring emerging technologies, CITL provides the expertise, resources, and collaborative support needed to translate ideas into meaningful educational impact. Our goal is to help instructors leverage innovation in ways that align with their unique teaching styles, disciplinary contexts, and educational aspirations.
The Fall 2026 conversation event series brings faculty and students together to explore artificial intelligence.
The Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) is hosting generative artificial intelligence (AI) events at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Throughout the AI Horizon series at CITL, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops, guest talks, and conversations on how GenAI impacts the future of education and beyond. Make sure you subscribe to our monthly AI Horizons newsletter.
The CITL Art of Teaching Friday Forum is a showcase for exploring the art and science of teaching. The series highlights faculty from across the disciplines who are conducting research on their teaching and connecting their findings to classroom practice.
Whether sharing the results of a classroom study, examining emerging trends in higher education, or highlighting effective instructional approaches, each presentation offers data-driven insights that deepen our understanding of student learning and advance the practice of teaching.
Join us online over the lunch hour for inspiring ideas and friendly conversation. The Art of Teaching Friday Forum is presented via Zoom on the first Friday of each month during the Fall and Spring semesters from Noon–1 p.m. CST.
