Nationally Recognized. UTSA Rooted.
TLDT works hand-in-hand with UTSA Online to ensure students in fully online programs receive the same high-quality, engaging learning experiences as those in residential courses. This close partnership has played a key role in UTSA Online’s consistent rise in national rankings—climbing year over year in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Online Programs.
UTSA is building a new model for innovation in teaching and learning—one that other universities are watching. Our work has been featured in EDUCAUSE Horizon Reports, ACUE publications and UT System-wide initiatives.
We believe real transformation starts by listening to faculty, integrating student voices and delivering results that matter.
Driving Student Engagement, Success and Career Readiness
We support faculty in designing learning experiences that do more than deliver content—they build connection, confidence and career-ready skills. Through course design grounded in evidence-based practices and inclusive pedagogy, TLDT helps instructors increase student engagement and improve academic outcomes across modalities.
Piloting Innovation
Our pilot process has been key to this success. We collaborate with faculty to test new approaches, tools and learning strategies in real classroom settings, then refine them based on feedback and measurable impact. These pilots have been adopted across disciplines, fields and modalities—proving that smart innovation scales best when built with faculty and student voices at the center.
Innovation Spotlight: Generative AI
Our AI work represents one of the most exciting frontiers in teaching innovation at UTSA. Through pilot courses, peer learning networks and hands-on workshops, TLDT is helping faculty across disciplines explore how generative AI can enhance student learning and streamline course design.
UTSA is at the forefront of generative AI in education—supporting faculty with clear guidance, real use cases and an active peer learning network. Whether you're curious, cautious or already experimenting, we offer practical resources and community to help you move forward.
