Welcome to the Teaching Resource Hub!
Welcome to the University of Montana’s instructor resource hub—a centralized site designed to connect instructors with tools, programs, and campus offices that support teaching, course design, professional writing, and student success.
At the University of Montana, our instructors are approachable, reflective, curious, and deeply committed to students. We are proud that our community is full of ambitious instructors who balance the demands of teaching, research, and service at an R1 university.
Curious about how to engage students? Check out the Engaged Teaching Practices Course!
This self-paced Canvas course will teach you about student engagement, Universal Design for Learning principles and practices, proactive digital accessibility, and just good sound pedagogy. The course has been recently revised by Morgan Alwell, Associate Professor of Teaching and Learning, and Tanna Kincaid, an instructional designer with the Learning Experience and Design (LEAD) team. Learn more about the course here.
