The Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CETL) – reporting to the Deputy VC for Academic Affairs (Provost) – supports the UAEU’s strategic vision and mission by promoting emerging educational technologies and teaching pedagogies among faculty members and instructors. CETL provides its supporting functions using three units: Instructional Design Unit (ID) to oversee the massive online and blended course transformation process that has started in support of implementing smart teaching and learning in UAEU courses. A second unit titled Teaching Scholarship & Assessment Unit (TSA) supporting the assessment of teaching and learning effectiveness and efficiency. A third unit in charge of Faculty Professional Development (FPD) which plans, develops, and manages the delivery of workshops, seminars, discussion panels, and forums to promote teaching excellence.
