Welcome!

Congratulations on joining the teaching ranks of the Experimental College. We hope that this site will provide you with valuable information to make your experience — and the experience of your students — the best possible.

Please bookmark this site so that you can return to it whenever a question arises. You can also reach all ExCollege staff by writing to excollege@tufts.edu.

To start, we suggest you click on About the ExCollege in the menu above. Each menu item ends with a link to what we think is the next “natural” subject, but it’s also very easy to explore on your own or to look for particular topics using the search box in the upper right corner.

COVID-19 Update: For the most up-to-date information, visit the main Tufts COVID-19 dashboard.

ExCollege Hub: An important way that we are supporting faculty, as you prepare your course, is by means of a website called The ExCollege Hub. The Hub is a destination for resources on teaching and technology.

The Hub is built using an online service called Canvas. Since we’ll be encouraging you to make optimal use of Canvas with your own course, a secondary benefit of visiting the Hub is that you can begin to familiarize yourself with how Canvas works. Expect an email invitation to The ExCollege Hub in December.
