Delivering Your Course

A core goal of A&S LDT is to support instructors in teaching engaging, effective courses taught on Grounds, online, and in hybrid instructional modes. You can learn more about the range of instructional modes at UVA. In times of disruption, the A&S LDT team provides direct support to instructors to make quick shifts to new modes of instruction.

LDT also supports course delivery by facilitating faculty access to innovative learning spaces and technologies, including the Active Learning Classrooms (link to a forthcoming Active Learning page), Language Commons and Language Lab (link to language spaces page), STEM Commons, and Maker and Media studios (links to studios). We help instructors to explore these spaces and associated technologies, and to schedule course meetings in these spaces.
