Digital Resources for Teaching (DRT)

Santa Clara University's Digital Resources for Teaching (DRT) database is a collaborative space collecting together evidence-based, justice-driven techniques, strategies, and ideas to aid faculty in continually innovating their curriculum and instructional approaches. 

Supported by the Center for Teaching Excellence, Faculty Development, and campus partners, such as Academic Technology and the Office of Accessible Education, SCU's DRT site is the product of extensive interdisciplinary and inter-departmental collaboration.

Faculty and staff from across the university have worked together to produce this repository of teaching knowledge. Many of our resources are the product of research conducted by our team of Faculty Associates. 

We strive to improve and expand our resources continually; new collaborators are invited to reach out with suggestions for new topics, to offer feedback, and/or to propose crafting their own entry.
