Innovative teaching and learning

As IU student needs continue to evolve, UITS Learning Technologies helps lead university-wide initiatives to create active learning environments and promote transformative teaching through innovative uses of technology.

Through the INbound with Dell initiative, IU students have the opportunity to purchase a reliable, affordable laptop to take them from the first day of classes through graduation day.

Mosaic, IU’s active learning initiative, supports innovative classroom design, research, and active learning in all IU classrooms. The program encourages engagement and conversation about how learning spaces and technology impact teaching, and it involves in-classroom consultations to help faculty members leverage any classroom space to support their teaching goals.

This digital content solution offers more affordable, accessible learning materials, expanded catalogs, increased collaboration for students, and an adaptive learning experience. Through direct partnerships with a growing number of publishers, IU eTexts offers a range of digital learning materials to enhance classroom environments and has become a cost-effective alternative to traditional print textbooks.

UITS Digital Education Programs & Initiatives (DEPI) pursues innovative approaches for connecting IU students, faculty, and staff to learning technologies. Using educational experiences and both internal and external collaborations, DEPI works to increase awareness and positively impact technology for teaching and learning at IU, and share their knowledge with partners including public libraries, K-12 schools, and higher education institutions.

The Digital Gardener Initiative connects members of the IU community working with digital literacy. By sharing best practices and successful programming, the initiative works to prepare students for a world where digital skills are critical.
