Challenges
The focus on technology often hides the need to address more fundamental teaching issues.
How do you measure quality in faculty development?
Getting faculty to understand and embrace authentic assessment is crucial to many aspects of teaching and learning. It is linked to issues in academic integrity, classroom attention issues due to technology, and is necessary to become a learning-centered institution.
Successes
Ruth Rodgers has joined our team as a Teaching and Learning Specialist
Our spring calendar saw the richest suite of courses for faculty ever offered in the Centre
This fiscal year we’ve had over 500 people take a course in the Centre (Apr-Sept)
We also provided at least an additional 500 hours of one-on-one support
We’ve received an Inukshuk grant to develop learning objects to train police on dealing with mentally ill individuals and we received CCL funding to research the effectiveness of these objects.
Our newsletter keeps getting better and better (http://x.dc-uoit.ca/blog/newsletters/)
We been funded for 5 half-time seconded faculty to form a curriculum unit for the development of curriculum resources, program mapping, and assist in developing quality in course outlines. And we all know that good teaching and learning starts with good curriculum!
We underwent a quality audit with PQAPA.
Goals
The development of an Academic plan that has emphasis on quality teaching and learning and the effective use of instructional technology.
Greater adoption of WebCT Vista
The development of a curriculum database to hold outlines that might ultimately interface to a learning object repository.
Seeing more active learning and authentic assessment.
The development of research capacity to move in the direction of SoTL.
