CTL Supported Educational Technologies

An overview of educational technology tools for teaching and learning, supported by the Center for Teaching and Learning.

The CTL provides pedagogical support for all of your instructional needs. With the exception of Canvas and Zoom, the CTL also owns and offers administrative and technical support for the below tools. Not sure who supports the app that you need help with? Not to worry! Just email edtechtools@wustl.edu, and the appropriate person will respond to your request shortly. We look forward to supporting your teaching any way we are able. 

In addition, WashU has 120+ pooled classrooms that have a variety of technology tools integrated within the room to support multimedia engagement, collaboration, and active learning. Audio-visual equipment can be used to record or livestream the class.

You can also learn more about how to choose technologies for your classes. Remember, the latest technological tools do not always make for the best pedagogical practices. Strong pedagogy starts with specific learning goals for students, not with the shiniest, newest app. We encourage instructors to always reflect on whether a new tool is necessary to achieve course learning goals and whether all students will have equal access to the tool. Let these answers be your guide in whether to adopt or not. 

In addition to the above, WashU supports other technologies that serve additional functions such as operations, research, and conferencing that you can use for your classes. For an overview of tools that may enhance teaching and learning, see:
