Welcome
The mission of the Valparaiso Institute for Teaching And Learning (VITAL) is to provide all faculty with the resources to successfully teach at Valparaiso University. The VITAL staff are in partnership with the Office of Instructional Technology, Design, and Assessment (ITDA) team working in three important areas:
- Faculty Development (focusing on the faculty member as a teacher, scholar, professional, and person)
- Instructional Design (focusing on the course, the curriculum, and student learning)
- Instructional Technology (focusing on the integration of technology across teaching and learning)
Faculty Events
