Spring 2021 Remote Faculty Workshops. Contact [email protected].
Throughout 2021, Teaching and Learning is offering workshops remotely, using Zoom as a platform to connect and learn. Part-time faculty with current academic contracts will receive $20/ hour for each hour dedicated to the workshops. You’re welcome to register a second time for a workshop to enhance your learning; however, part-time faculty will not be paid for attending again. Workshops are delivered on a set schedule, indicated under each series outlined in the table of contents below. Offerings are advertised on the Teaching and Learning website under the Teaching and Learning Workshop on Emerging Trends Schedule dropdown menu.
After registering for a workshop, you will receive an email from your facilitator at least two days prior with materials and a Zoom link. You will then receive a calendar invite the day of the workshop, which you will use to access and participate in the session. If you have any questions about using Zoom for workshops, or have not received a Zoom link for a workshop in which you’ve registered, please contact [email protected].

Best Practices in Real-Time and Offline Teaching - PDEV0786
Remote teaching provides many opportunities for both synchronous (real time) and asynchronous (off line) teaching and learning interaction. How can we decide which mode of delivery is the best for us and for our students? We will explore how to choose synchronous and asynchronous modes wisely and appropriately to meet the course outcomes and students’ needs. This workshop will provide both asynchronous and synchronous learning experiences: we will watch a short video, complete a quick poll, and then join a Zoom session where we will develop a shared understanding of best practices.

Best Practices in Active Learning for Remote Classes – PDEV0782
Creating meaningful remote learning experiences involves designing opportunities for students to actively interact with and apply their learning. Active learning strategies increase student engagement and motivation, and are essential for educators teaching remotely. Together, we'll learn best practices to help students apply authentic knowledge independently and collaboratively, and ways for faculty to encourage course success through support and interaction with students.

Lesson Planning for Remote Teaching – PDEV0783
Thoughtful lessons in remote classes are not self-directed by the learner, but, rather, carefully and intentionally planned to provide a well-supported and cohesive learning experience. Lesson planning in remote teaching calls for clear and deliberate ways of guiding the learner. In this workshop, we'll explore the ways active learning strategies can enrich your classes, from no / low-tech solutions to simple tech that can be learned in a matter of minutes.

Helping International Students Manage the World of Remote/Alternative Delivery - PDEV0787
International students bring rich diversity to the learning environment. At the same time, they are often on a steep learning curve with respect to Canadian educational practices, especially when learning and assessment take place remotely. In this workshop, we will develop an understanding of support and scaffolding that will benefit international students learning in a remote teaching environment. Together, we will create a to-do list for ensuring that our international students are well supported in the world of remote/alternative delivery, while helping all learners succeed in the process.
