Instructor Support and Training
To support our faculty, the University of Illinois and The Grainger College of Engineering offer training, resources, course development and instructional support through the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) and the Academy for Excellence in Engineering Education (AE3). These programs cover a range of topics, including AI, accessibility and instructional technologies. Online courses offer unique opportunities and challenges for educating learners throughout the world. To support student success and accessibility, Grainger Engineering requires online instructors to be proficient and up-to-date in relevant methods and tools.
