Academic Strategy and Learning Innovation (ASLI – pronounced “Ashli”) brings together three core units: the Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL), Office of Assessment, and the Institute for Global Higher Education (IGHE). ASLI drives initiatives that support and enhance teaching, learning, and curriculum development at DKU.

ASLI fosters a dynamic academic culture rooted in continuous improvement and innovation. By supporting teaching excellence, student learning, and curriculum design, ASLI strengthens DKU’s distinctive educational identity and advances the university’s global mission.

Our work cultivates collaboration among faculty and enhances teaching effectiveness, creating richer learning experiences, a flexible and high-quality curriculum, and a campus-wide commitment to evidence-based innovation. These efforts also reinforce DKU’s external partnerships and highlight its unique contributions to higher education.

ASLI collaborates closely with faculty committees, administrative units, and students, with a particularly strong partnership with Curricular Affairs. This collaboration ensures robust systems for curriculum development, assessment, and faculty support, promoting high-quality teaching and learning across the university.
