Since our earliest days, the mission of the Center for Teaching has been to support and promote the development of teaching skills and strengthen the university’s culture of teaching. 

To celebrate our 30th anniversary in 2026, we curated a collection of impactful teaching ideas from instructors from nine colleges and units at the University of Iowa. Published via Iowa Research Online, these short, conversational, outcome-focused pieces offer examples and advice for new learning activities, assessments, and teaching approaches developed and tested by instructors at Iowa.
