Welcome to FaCIT! Welcome to the web resource and information guide for the Faculty Center for Innovative Teaching. Central Michigan University has long emphasized quality educational opportunities for our students as a primary aspect of a CMU experience. Currently, the first sentence of the CMU mission statement is, "Central Michigan University serves Michigan and the larger community as a doctoral/research-intensive public university focused on excellent teaching and student-focused learning." In addition, the first listed core value at Central Michigan University is, " Student-focused learning, placing the strongest value on learning and teaching." Finally, at the conclusion of the strategic planning process to develop CMU 2010, the first priorty emerged as “ 1. Create an environment that supports teaching and learning as the top priority.” There is no doubt student learning is a defining feature of CMU. The Faculty Center for Innovative Teaching is fully devoted to assisting faculty in providing the exceptional learning opportunities for students they expect upon enrolling in a CMU course. In this center, we pride ourselves on the quality assistance we provide in a variety of areas. Within FaCIT are instructional developers to assist you individually with delivering the content of your course in a learning-centered environment. We also have an amazing production team who will assist you with developing technology-enhanced learning opportunities for your students. Overall, we can assist you with just about any aspect of teaching and learning that you can imagine, from classroom observations to organizing digital information to developing more effective PowerPoint presentations.
