About the ECTL
The Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning (ECTL), established in the fall of 1991, is administered from the Office of Academic Affairs. The mission of the ECTL is to provide leadership, advocacy, support, faculty development, and instructional services for teaching and learning excellence. Formerly known as the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), the center was renamed to honor John P. "Jack" Ellbogen on September 6, 2001. The ECTL oversees the Writing Center, Instructional Computing Services, and Instructional Media Services, and provides consulting and class observations. The Learning Resource Networks (LeaRN), is also an important partner to the ECTL.
