The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) celebrated its 20th anniversary on April 11, 2016. In that time, the Centre has positioned itself as a leader in the scholarship of teaching and learning for higher education, offering both a Master's and a post-graduate certificate. Courses and workshops have been conducted across the Caribbean (including the British Virgin Islands). The Centre's latest initiative in blended-learning rounds out the various delivery methods offered at UWI St. Augustine. The Centre began as the Instructional Development Unit (IDU) under the direction of Ms. Betty Rohlehr. From its tiny physical space and facilities, the IDU was responsible for sparking awareness among the teaching staff of the link between research and teaching. For its Excellence in Service to the University, the IDU received the Vice-Chancellor's Award in 2004. Strengthening its commitment to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, the Caribbean Scholar was launched in 2011 under Dr. Anna-May Edwards-Henry's leadership. In 2015 the IDU moved to the Teaching and Learning Complex and assumed its current name: The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Its new Director is Dr. Margo Burns. To celebrate its 20 years of success, the Centre will be launching 20 new initiatives over the next academic year beginning with the movement of student evaluations to an online format.
