Included Resources

The Teaching Professor Digital Library (TPDL) includes campus-wide access to hundreds of seminars and professional development videos from top experts. Programs are found under Instructional Videos.

Monday Morning Mentor Series. The Monday Morning Mentor series delivers campus-wide access to one of our popular 20-Minute Mentor online programs 32 weeks per year--16 in the fall and 16 in the spring. The programs in the Monday Morning Mentor series, presented by respected academic peers, cover timely and relevant topics in only 20 minutes--long enough to provide actionable insights, but short enough to fit anyone's schedule.

The Teaching Professor Digital Library (TPDL) is available to all Seton Hill faculty, staff, and students and requires each user to create an account using their complete SHU email address and a password of their design--registration only has to be completed once. 

After that, each subscriber can access their subscription instantly by logging in to SHU's unique TPDL URL using their email address and password set up during registration; the TPDL link is available in the MySHU tools. 

Once the account is created and the user has registered, the user will have unlimited access from any computer, whether on- or off-campus. TPDL has also been integrated with Canvas as an External Tool for use within the LMS.
