Center for Teaching & Mentoring

Faculty Professional Development

At Middle Tennessee State University, faculty members are central to student learning, engagement, and success. The Center for Teaching and Mentoring is committed to supporting faculty excellence through a variety of professional development opportunities. This fall, faculty can participate in workshops, learning communities, and other programs in the Center for Teaching and Mentoring designed to enhance teaching effectiveness, foster collaboration, and support professional growth. In addition, MTSU faculty have access to LinkedIn Learning, which offers thousands of on-demand courses to help develop teaching, leadership, technology, and career-related skills.

Faculty may also find LinkedIn Learning to be a valuable resource to recommend to students seeking to strengthen academic, career-readiness, and technology skills outside the classroom.

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform offering thousands of expert‑led courses on topics such as:

  • Teaching strategies and student engagement
  • Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies
  • Research, data analysis, and academic productivity
  • Leadership and academic administration
  • Communication, presentation, and public speaking skills
  • Microsoft Office and digital tools
  • Creative software, design, and multimedia

Courses are available anytime, anywhere, and you can learn at your own pace.

MTSU faculty/staff/students have free access to LinkedIn Learning.

  1. Visit ITD’s LinkedIn Learning page for the LinkedIn Learning login link
  2. Log in with your MTSU credentials
  3. Browse or search for topics that interest you OR use one of our collections below
  4. Start learning and track your progress along the way

You can also download the LinkedIn Learning mobile app to learn on the go. Instructions are provided on ITD’s LinkedIn Learning page.

Connecting your MTSU LinkedIn Learning account with your personal LinkedIn account is not required, but it does have the potential to open up a richer learning experience.

It allows you to:

  • Join groups of other learners tailored to your interests
  • Engage in meaningful Q&A, taking part in discussions with instructors and other learners
  • See what your network is learning and share what you’re learning
  • Highlight your professional growth by adding certifications and new skills to your LinkedIn profile

Because your completed coursework and new skills appear on your profile, you naturally enhance your visibility to peers, recruiters, and employers, which can open doors to new professional opportunities. Additionally, when your certifications and skills are attached to your personal LinkedIn profile, your achievements stay with you long-term, independent of the institution that provided access.
