Our Goal

Our goal is to support our faculty and staff to make learning relevant, meaningful and memorable. We represent a diversity of skills, interests and perspectives, and we try to use that to our advantage by operating in a collaborative and open environment.

Who we are

We are experimenters, problem solvers, and innovators. We work with staff and faculty on projects of all magnitudes and we don't really stop until we get it right. Then we go back and try to improve on that. Then we go back and try to improve on that.

Our Value

We pride ourselves on our reliability and relatability. Our approach is to say "Yes!" first and then ask questions later.

Our Team

Our team at the Centre for Teaching, Learning & Innovation (CTLI) is passionate about the work we do. We love to know what’s going on around JIBC: who’s got a bold new idea, who’s trying something new, who needs help. Everyone in our team has something important to contribute and we always welcome and are happy to have visitors stop by with a question, a problem, or a challenge.
