Resource Guides
We have created a number of resource guides on various topics related to teaching and learning. We invite you to explore these guides.
Equity & Inclusion in Teaching
Promoting equity through inclusive teaching benefits everyone.
We provide resources and workshops that introduce and model inclusive approaches that can be adapted for any discipline, class size, or delivery format. Inclusive teaching addresses content accessibility and asks us to consider which students are prioritized and/or marginalized through the instructional activities and materials in our courses. Research shows that student-centered evidence-based teaching results in better outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and students of color. Here are some essential techniques.
DRC
The UArizona Disability Resource Center
The DRC provides excellent tips to get you started on creating a more inclusive and accessible classroom and course materials.
UDL
Universal Design for Learning
UDL principles are based on evidence about how humans learn and contribute to success for all students.
Provide Captions
- D2L Video Note captions automatically in many different languages.
- Panopto auto-generates captions.
- Show students how to turn on Live Caption in Chrome browser.
Diversify Your Course
Represent diversity in the authors, images, and other materials in your course. Consider that more than 1 in 5 college students are parents, 19% of students have disabilities, and most students work; be sure to represent the New College Majority.

Provide Meaningful Feedback
When giving feedback, focus on a few significant points, be positive but not superficial. Use specific feedback to help students improve and to see teaching as coaching more than judging.
