Led by faculty and CTL, Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is a group of faculty who meet regularly to work together in an active and collaborative program on a pedagogical or curricular topic of interest. 
 
The overall goal is to reinforce the culture of the faculty learning community, where faculty are expected to explore ways of fostering student significant learning (Fink, 2003), engage with the pedagogical literature, and apply research-based teaching to DKU courses.  

2025-26: Assessment in the Age of GenAI

As GenAI continues to transform the higher education landscape, the effective measurement of student success is more critical — and complex — than ever. This initiative is aligned with the DKU’s commitment to foster innovation in teaching and learning. It is supported by the Dean for Academic Strategy and Learning Innovation whose responsibilities include designing and implementing systems to assess and support high-quality and innovative teaching and curricular design, as well as fostering research and practical experimentation on AI in education and best practices in teaching and learning.

Historical Programs

2022 Program: Course Design

In response to the needs for course design and redesign, the theme of the 2022 program is Course Design Based on Your DKU Teaching Experiences, with student significant learning, flexibility, and inclusivity in mind.

2021 Program: Active Learning

In 2021-2022, the first iteration of the FLC program with the theme of Active Teaching involved a group of 9 faculty members across divisions & programs. This program has fulfilled its goal to explore active learning and inclusive techniques in classrooms, labs, or Friday field trips.
