Orientation to College Teaching is a series of modules designed to provide information, instruction and support
to faculty and teaching staff at the university level who wish to enhance their teaching and support their students' learning.
The Orientation to College Teaching was created to support the professional development of postdoctoral scholars in the behavioral
and biomedical sciences. The contents of this website were developed with grant funds from the
Fund for the Improvement of Post-secondary Education (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education*, and the
Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award Program (IRACDA), from the Minority Opportunities in Research (MORE)
Division of the National Institute of Health. Information on the postdoctoral professional development programs supported by

What are the frames and non-frames options?
To enter the site, click on one of the two display settings below. Entering the site through the frames option will
simplify the navigation of the site by creating a scrolling navigation menu on the left part of your browser window.
However, frames can cause problems for users of assistive technology and users who navigate with their keyboard. Entering
the site through the no-frames option will not create the separate navigation menu but presents fewer navigation challenges
for keyboard and assistive technology users.
