Calling all innovative educators who are looking to try out some new strategies in their teaching. Cutting EDge is back! In Version 2.0, our theme is "Group work: Redesigned, Redefined". 

What IS Cutting EDge?

Cutting EDge is a research project where faculty come together to learn new innovative teaching strategies/tools/techniques focused around a theme. Once faculty have mastered the new strategies, they deploy them in their classrooms, with on-site support from the CTL's Professional Learning and e-Learning teams. Then, the CTL's Research team gathers evidence from faculty and their students on the impact of the innovative new teaching approaches.
