Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning

In the 2008/2009 academic year, the CETL piloted the UWI Postgraduate Certificate in University Teaching and Learning (CUTL), a teaching programme that, from 2009, became mandatory for all new lecturers of the UWI. This programme is designed to meet the need for members of academic staff to be exposed to learning strategies and approaches required to be effective in educating today’s students for tomorrow’s world.

The programme aims to target four essential modules: Teaching and Learning, Assessment for Higher Education, Advancing Teaching with Technology, and Reflective Teaching for Learning.

Additionally, the CETL offers a range of workshops that are aimed at improving teaching practice and the learning experience at The UWI.
