Teaching with Tech

Wordpress Workshop

ePortfolios have become a rapidly used tool in both reflective learning and instructor assessment. These series of workshops provide a basic introduction into the UWindsor branded ePortfolio system based in Wordpress. Students & instructors will learn what an ePortfolio is, why they are important, and how to build one. At the end of the workshop, participants will have the basics of their own personal ePortfolio live on the web.

Humanizing Digital Learning Micro-Program

This micro-program consists of six courses that address the issues of humanizing learning from a variety of perspectives. The introductory course establishes some common language and identifies many of the challenges that will be addressed in the program. The next four courses address humanizing from the perspectives of student engagement; assessment; the technology itself; and EDI (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion), accessibility, decolonization, and Indigenization.

After completing at least one course, participants can apply for the Humanizing Digital Learning program and register for the capstone course below. Each participant will be assigned a facilitator for the capstone course. This involves the participant choosing a specific project (a syllabus, an ebook, a complex assignment) and developing it for use in their own classes and working on that project throughout the program.

Audience: Faculty, staff, sessional instructors, and students with teaching responsibilities.

For more information on the program, visit the Humanising Digital Learning site, contact the Office of Open Learning by email: openlearning@uwindsor.ca or visit the team on the second floor of the Centre for Engineering Innovation (CEI) building at the 700 California entrance.

Open Learning Community of Practice

Please join us for informal discussion on teaching with digital technologies and innovative pedagogies. Our Community of Practice (CoP) sessions bring together faculty, staff, and graduate student instructors who share an interest in teaching with digital technology. We meet once or twice a month (over coffee!).

Each month, we invite colleagues--faculty, staff, and graduate student instructors--to share their digital teaching practices to inspire you and enhance the quality of your students' learning experiences. In the spirit of openness, we extend invitations to colleagues from other institutions.

We encourage you to bring what you’re working on and share both challenges and successes with like-minded colleagues. Come learn something new and energize your teaching practice and student learning experiences in 2024!

Please register for each session. Feel free to bring a friend, too!
