If you have questions about the form, or if you would like to request access to retrieve a statistics report or have technical issues, please contact Lee Ann Lannom or Melissa Mallon.

Checking your LibGuides statistics is also an important way to track the impact of your teaching. Follow the instructions in the link above to generate and view reports on page views, guide views, asset reports, and more.

Description

Advance the university’s educational mission by providing teaching and learning opportunities on digital, information, and other literacies, educational technologies, and critical research skills at different scales and modalities. Example teaching and learning activities include: 

  • Teach course-related and course integrated classes, as requested, and offer course integrated presentations to instructional faculty 
  • Create and develop instructional materials such as Research Guides, tutorials, and videos 
  • Engage in conversations and learning opportunities related to teaching and learning with colleagues across campus (e.g., take part in the Center for Teaching's learning communities) 
  • Develop co-curricular workshops for both broad and focused audiences, preferably in partnership with another campus group or program 
  • Measure and evaluate and modify these efforts
