Teaching and Learning

WMU's Teaching and Learning teams exist to support the teaching, learning and educational development needs of the university.

Working together, Instructional Design & Development, Instructional Technology, and the Office of Faculty Development collaborate with departments, programs, and individuals across campus to identify the pedagogical and technological needs of those involved in creating learning experiences. We offer a multitude of ways for instructors to get the help they need from our teams—including time-saving resources, informative events, learning communities, customized one-on-one support, and much more. By actively responding to the constantly changing landscape of higher education, WMU Teaching and Learning propels our mission to “imagine, design, and realize ideas that transform and enhance the learning experience” forward.
