Advisory Boards

Advisory groups play an important role in shaping the direction, effectiveness, and responsiveness of the Office of Teaching and Learning’s work. This page introduces the Faculty Advisory Board, which provides guidance on teaching and learning initiatives and helps connect faculty perspectives across campus; the Courseware Faculty Advisory Board (CFAB), which offers input on policies and issues related to the learning management system and instructional technologies; and the Instructional Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC), which supports collaboration and best practices around instructional technology use. Together, these groups ensure that faculty voices inform decision-making and that teaching and learning resources remain relevant, effective, and aligned with campus needs.
