The Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation integrates pedagogical, technological, and research expertise to support Carnegie Mellon University educators of all experience levels via evidence-based practice.
Site Restructure: To better support your teaching needs, we are reorganizing the site to focus on the way you teach and what you need. We are removing unnecessary distinctions between audiences and grouped content around participating in professional development programs, requesting expert support, and finding practical resources. We invite you to reach out with suggestions as we continue to grow this resource together.
Inclusivity & Belonging
Explore strategies and examples for how to intentionally enhance inclusivity and belonging for your course design and in your classroom teaching.
Technology Enhanced Learning
Making decisions about educational technologies can be tricky. Whether low tech (a chalkboard) or high tech (GenerativeAI), a tool’s learning benefits depend on when, where, how, and why you use it.
Teaching as Research
Discover what works for student learning. Read about what faculty are doing in this area of research: the compelling questions they ask and results of their studies.
The GAITAR Initiative
In 2023, we launched the Generative Artificial Intelligence Teaching as Research (GAITAR) Initiative to measure the impacts of the generative AI tools on students’ learning and educational experiences at Carnegie Mellon University.
GenAI for Grading & Feedback
Generative AI (genAI) continues to evolve in ways that are challenging to navigate. Here we provide a heuristic to help you decide whether or not to incorporate genAI tools into your grading and feedback processes.
Generative AI Tools FAQ
Here we compiled a list of frequently asked questions about AI tools such as ChatGPT. We based our responses on evidence-based and inclusive teaching strategies, CMU policies, and the current state of technology tools.
Teaching & Learning Newsletter
The Teaching & Learning Newsletter is a monthly Eberly Center newsletter where we keep you informed about news and resources to support teaching and learning at Carnegie Mellon University.
Research & Scholarship Digest
See what the Eberly Center is reading and thinking about this month! We hope readers of this digest will find it a useful resource for staying in-tune with the rapidly expanding education research literature.
Spotlight on Innovative Teaching
CMU instructors are innovators. In these dynamic, 5-minute talks, faculty and graduate student instructors share their creative, transferable solutions to common teaching and learning challenges.
Write or Update Your Syllabus
Whether starting from scratch or updating an existing syllabus, use this site to access templates, learn more about CMU Syllabus recommendations, and view sample CMU syllabi.
Teaching in Tumultuous Times
Events of crisis, tragedy, or social unrest may take an emotional and cognitive toll on students, disrupt their lives, and interfere with learning. Find strategies and resources to help instructors support students in tumultuous times.
Undergraduate Research Toolkit
Use this toolkit to guide in designing and implementing inclusive undergraduate research experiences (URE) at scale, moving beyond the traditional one-to-one student to mentor model.
