Toolkit Shelf

This Toolkit Shelf is a curated collection of various materials selected by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) Instructional Design Team. We update the selection periodically to complement our current efforts in training and outreach, as well as to reflect frequently requested items.​​

The complete collection resides in our library, though you can search the item(s) you're looking for right here. Resources include accessible templates, guides, handouts, and video tutorials. Most of these have been created by CTL specifically for our faculty, teaching assistants, and subject matter experts at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. You will also find links to these items on various pages across our website.

 

Please browse the CTL staff picks, our spotlight items, or search our entire library's collection.
