Series

New for Faculty! Series on Supporting Students

Some student issues and concerns, beyond the academic, might impact teaching and learning in your classroom in ways you may not have considered. This series of lunch hour presentations will offer faculty members insights and strategies for supporting students with a variety of concerns.

Lunch and Learn Series

The Centre for Learning and Teaching will be hosting a noon hour, Lunch & Learn series for faculty and administrative staff working in the online environment.  The purpose of the Lunch & Learn series is to give faculty and administrative staff an opportunity to come together in a sharing environment to learn about what others are doing and to hear about current research and best practices. This series could be for faculty and staff who are teaching online, who are using the online environment as a component for their campus courses, or who are interested in moving some of their content online.

Workshops and Discussion Groups

The Centre for Learning and Teaching offers professional development sessions that address topics on teaching and learning and technology in higher education.   The CLT encourages faculty, staff, graduate students, or anyone who is interested in enhancing their teaching practices to attend. 

A list of all the upcoming and past sessions can be found by browsing the Calendar of Events or the Professional Development page.
