Teaching & Learning Communities
Collaboration is crucial in a thriving educational ecosystem, and there is nothing more important to successful collaboration than trusting partnerships built on teams working toward common goals. STLI develops and fosters a variety of interest groups and communities of practice that strengthen the mission and values of William & Mary.
01
New Faculty Group
The New Faculty Group was formed to support new faculty at William & Mary and continually develop their instructional practice alongside their peers. We share problems of practice and lessons learned through community conversations, book groups, and workshops tailored to the interests of the group.
02
Large Classrooms Interest Group
Although William & Mary is known for small classes, there are specific challenges and opportunities for instructors who teach larger sections. The Large Classrooms Interest Group brings together faculty and co-educators from a wide range of disciplines to share best practices and innovative concepts to offer the best student experience possible.
03
Online/Hybrid Teaching Group
The Online/Hybrid Teaching Group is a community of practice composed of instructors who teach in the College of Arts & Sciences summer online and Washington Center hybrid courses. We meet twice a year to share and discuss strategies for online and hybrid learning.
04
Digital Humanities Interest Group
The Digital Humanities Interest Group offers instructors and co-educators in the humanities and beyond many opportunities to share their ideas and learn from one another. Reading groups, a yearly symposium, and a group listserv keeps members engaged and informed about the state of the digital humanities at William & Mary and around the world.
