Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning - Indiana University Bloomington

What Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning - Indiana University Bloomington does

Indiana University Bloomington is Indiana's oldest and only comprehensive public AAU research university, founded in 1820 and operating as the flagship campus of the Indiana University system under Chancellor David A. Reingold. It delivers undergraduate, graduate, and professional education across 14 schools and colleges (including the world-renowned Jacobs School of Music, the No. 1-ranked O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the Kelley School of Business) with more than 200 undergraduate majors and 190+ graduate programs, serving a record Fall 2025 incoming class of 10,127 new undergraduates, 5,200+ international students, and 11,000+ graduates per year. The Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning operates within this structure as the unit dedicated to supporting university instructors through teaching resources, consultations, programs, and awards.

The institution's core technology footprint is conventional research-university IT: a central web portal at bloomington.iu.edu hosted on IUSiteKube, an Atlas Portal for student records, Slate (Technolutions) for enrollment and analytics, Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and dedicated simulation infrastructure such as the Interprofessional Simulation Center. Recent capability-buildouts include a cross-disciplinary Business Intelligence and Data Science B.S. (co-developed by Kelley and Luddy) and the formal launch of Capital Campus in Washington, DC in 2026 to support federal policy engagement.

The business model combines tuition and fees from a roughly 50/50 in-state/out-of-state mix with over $1 billion in annual research funding from federal agencies (NIH, NSF, DOE, NIST), state and private sources, $197M+ in annual philanthropic support through the IU Foundation (an 18% year-over-year increase), and auxiliary revenue from housing, dining, the Biddle Hotel, the Indiana Memorial Union, and orientation lodging. Distribution runs through direct admissions in Ernie Pyle Hall, Student Central, the Office of International Services, transfer and community-college articulation agreements, a high-school counselor network, and paid digital marketing through agencies BSMNT and Carnegie Dartlet on Snap, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, and programmatic channels.
