CITL in 2016-17
Learners. Educators. Partners.
Online. On Campus.
At the Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL), we serve Memorial University with our online offerings, use of educational media and technologies in courses and classrooms, and opportunities to enhance teaching practice. We also administer enterprise-class technologies to facilitate teaching, learning and administration.
In addition to these core services, we partner with internal and external individuals and groups to meet education-related goals, facilitate research, and provide the wider community with access to university events and opportunities.
Through supporting the university community on all campuses, we aim to make a positive impact on our learners, educators and partners. This report provides a snapshot of that impact during the 2016-17 academic year through metrics, stories and achievements we have captured.

Online Learning
Memorial University is a Canadian leader in online learning, providing tens of thousands of students each year with the convenience and flexibility that comes with taking courses online.
Students at a distance from one of Memorial’s campuses can learn online to balance work, life and study. On campus students can take online courses to complement their schedules, or to advance their studies during work terms and summer breaks.
In addition to the hundreds of online course options we have available, our partnership with the Canadian Virtual University allows students to take advantage of over 2,000 online courses and 250 programs from Canada’s leading universities.
