Consulting

CLEAR provides consulting services for all types of instruction and all faculty at UNT. Upon request, CLEAR team members are available to assist the faculty member or course designer with improving their course. We can help you evaluate the course in the following areas using standard rubrics and will provide a detailed report with suggestions for improvements.  Whether you are teaching your course for the first time, building a new course, or converting your course from traditional learning to distributed learning—these are all excellent times to re-confirm the validity and relevance of your existing course objectives and modify them if necessary.

Online Teaching

CLEAR's online teaching consultants have considerable expertise in best practices for teaching in the online learning environment and in designing online courses that meet national quality standards. Our consultants also provide training on a variety of technologies that support online and blended learning. The table below shows the instructional consultants who specialize in online learning and the departments to which they are currently assigned.

If your school, college, or department does not appear on this list, contact clearhelp@unt.edu or the Center of Learning Enhancement, Assessment, and Redesign at 940-369-7394 to determine your consultant assignment or to have a consultant assigned to you.
