Atlanta, GA | Posted: December 17, 2014
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Rafael L. Bras has approved an organizational change that will modify the reporting structures within the offices of Learning Excellence and Libraries and Graduate Education and Faculty Affairs (GEFA).
The update is the result of a functional review of Learning Excellence, which was created in 2011 and grouped the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL), the Office of Assessment, and Office of Educational Technology.
Going forward, Learning Excellence will be focused on accreditation, assessment, program review and similar areas. The office and function will be renamed as “Academic Effectiveness” and will continue to report to Catherine Murray-Rust, with a slightly modified title of Dean of Libraries and Vice Provost for Academic Effectiveness.
CETL will be moved under guidance of the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Faculty Affairs. The center’s focus will continue to be on strengthening teaching professional development skills among the faculty, instructors and teaching assistants; instruction on learning/classroom technologies; assisting faculty with integrating innovative teaching methodologies and techniques into the curriculum; and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
