- Teaching & Learning Exploratory -

The Teaching and Learning Exploratory is sunsetting its public-facing user accounts as of June 2024. As we work to ramp down the site over the coming months, we are offering universal free access to a limited library of videos. Current paid subscribers will continue to have full access during this transition.

If you are a new user who needs additional access beyond our free library, please contact TLE-contact@umich.edu so we can determine the best way to assist you.

The Teaching and Learning Exploratory (TLE) features full-length classroom videos and curated collections of clips with integrated tools for interaction and exploration. The TLE includes classroom sessions from diverse locations in K-12 settings.
