We’re excited to announce the upcoming summer offering of the IMPACT Teaching and Learning workshop at the Teaching Centre! This virtual workshop, scheduled from June 13th to July 4th, will take place on Mondays and Fridays from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is tailored specifically for graduate student teaching assistants (GTAs) and postdocs who have teaching responsibilities or related interests.

 

The workshop aims to equip participants with practical tools and insights on essential aspects of teaching, including course design, syllabus development, planning, assessment, and class management, while helping them develop their teaching philosophy.

IMPACT Teaching and Learning Modules Include:

• Course Design  

• Syllabus Development

• NEW! Inclusive Teaching

• Educational Assessment in the Age of AI

• Lesson Planning

• Class Management and Student Engagement Strategies

• AI in Teaching and Learning and Prompting 101  

 

Participants can look forward to engaging in hands-on activities using the LMS Moodle. Throughout the sessions, we will explore AI-powered tools within the context of higher education, fostering discussions on the opportunities and implications of incorporating technology into teaching and assessment strategies.

 

We are particularly excited about our new Inclusive Teaching module. Inclusive teaching is vital for creating an environment where every student feels valued and supported. This module will focus on strategies that accommodate diverse backgrounds, abilities, and learning needs. Participants will learn about universal design for learning (UDL), cultural competency, and equitable assessment practices, which will empower them to enhance student engagement and success.
