Join us from 8:30-noon on Thursday April 26 as we explore the scope of pedagogical innovation, what it means to innovate and how we can impact student learning.
Opening remarks by Dr.Murray Knuttila, VP Academic and Dr.Barry Joe, Director of the Centre for Pedagogical Innovation will be followed by a thematic review of Senate's investigations into innovative pedagogy by Dr.James Mandigo, Vice-Chair of Senate.
There will be numerous opportunities for you to share your voice and experiences in addition to learning from others.
As the E-Learning initiative moves into Phase II with a new call for proposals, two mid-morning panels will explore innovative practices like peer helping, e-portfolios and creating online courses.
A free breakfast will be served at 8:30 am in the Guernsey Market.
Registration required.
The Office of the Provost and Vice-President Academic is pleased to announce Phase II of the E-Learning Initiative and invites proposals from all full-time teaching staff for on-line courses/hybrid courses to be funded and developed in 2012 in collaboration with the Centre for Pedagogical Innovation (CPI).
- a large enrolment course
- a high-demand course (for example, a mandatory course required for majors or a prescribed Core and Context course)
- a niche course (i.e. a course the content of which is not offered elsewhere in Ontario)
- a first-year course
- a graduate course
- a hybrid course (for example, a course that is 50% online and 50% face to face; a course that takes advantage of a “flipped curriculum”)
- a course that is constructed around an innovative methodology. This could include the use of digital tools in novel and creative ways to support the underlying pedagogical strategy, to achieve the explicit learning outcomes of the course, or to evaluate student learning by exploiting the nature of the digital environment and the capabilities of select digital tools.
- existing courses that have been adapted to take advantage of digital tools and/or the connected digital environment to foster learning.
