This summer, the Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation is launching two asynchronous courses for educators: Inclusive Pedagogy and Welcome to Teaching. These two courses represent early offerings in what will be an expansive suite of self-paced, asynchronous educator development programming that will roll out throughout the 2025-2026 academic year.
Inclusive Pedagogy CTLI Course
This self-paced course is designed for MSU educators—broadly defined to include not only faculty and instructors, but also advisors, librarians, teaching assistants, instructional designers, coaches, Extension educators, and anyone involved in teaching, learning, or student success. In this course, you’ll explore the foundations of inclusive pedagogy and how it can be applied in your unique context. You’ll engage with videos, readings, reflections, and activities across seven modules, each building toward practical strategies for creating more inclusive educational spaces. The course is now available for self-enroll and offered in D2L.
Welcome to Teaching CTLI Course [Forthcoming in early Fall 2025]
Discover the foundations of effective teaching at MSU through this self-paced online course designed for educators across roles and disciplines. Through CTLI-curated content, you’ll examine key principles of quality instruction, learn practical strategies for creating equitable and engaging learning environments, and build your understanding of pedagogy and instructional design within the context of Michigan State University—all on your own schedule. Whether you're new to teaching or looking to refresh your practice, this course offers a meaningful entry point to MSU’s commitment to teaching and learning for student success.
