The Center for Innovative Teaching & Learning (CITL) at USF started working with OneHE in 2022. The USF CITL "has a singular mission: enhancing learning experiences. CITL is focused on strengthening classroom practices, providing pedagogy and technology training, and enriching the learning and teaching environment for all faculty."
What was the challenge?
The CITL in USF aimed to provide a sustainable and scalable system for supporting the professional development of teaching faculty, especially those that are new to teaching, that integrates and augments current support and provides flexibility in how and when faculty are supported. In this, the CITL wanted to create a sense of community and connectedness between educators committed to improving the quality of teaching, across USF's three campuses and 13 schools, and with colleagues in other institutions globally, also using OneHE.

Where next for your partnership with OneHE?
USF's CITL now plans to make use of OneHE to provide support for adjunct faculty who are often less well resourced in institutions. OneHE allow adjunct faculty to engage with faculty development at a time and place that suits them, and to carry on the conversation with colleagues about adoption of good practice. The CITL sees this as a value add that will help attract the best academic talent.
