Office of Open Learning: Workshops

A one-stop shop for all your open learning needs

Welcome! Please log in.

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!

Instructors: Nobuko Fujita
Join the conversation in reading the open-access book, "An Urgency of Teachers: the Work of Critical Digital Pedagogy" by Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Stommel (visit https://urgencyofteachers.com/). This collection of essays explores the authors’ work in, inquiry into, and critique of online learning, educational technology, and the trends, techniques, hopes, fears, and possibilities of digital pedagogy. In this age of artificial intelligence and machines, the authors posit that pedagogy--specifically critical digital pedagogy-- is the lever for change in education. As Audrey Watters (2018) notes in the foreword to the book, Morris and Stommel urge us to put humans at the centre of our educational practices, and to prioritize care and justice for humans at the fore at our institutions and in our ideologies.

The book also provides a good pedagogical background for colleagues who are participating in the upcoming Digital Pedagogy Lab Toronto on March 18-20, 2019.

We will run 8 sessions on Fridays from 12:00-1:00PM from January 18-March 8, 2019. You can join us live, in person in the 'comfy seating area' on the first floor of Leddy Library, or participate in the conversation asynchronously using the Hypothes.is web annotation tool.

Please note: No session on February 22nd (Reading Week)

Join the conversation in reading the open-access book, Pulling Together: A Guide for Teachers and Instructors by Bruce Allan, Amy Perreault, John Chenoweth, Dianne Biin, Sharon Hobenshield, Todd Ormiston, Shirley Anne Hardman, Louise Lacerte, Lucas Wright, and Justin Wilson.

This book is one of the free, open-licensed guides developed for staff at post-secondary institutions in British Columbia through a collaboration between BCcampus and the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills, and Training. The guides are intended to support the systemic change in higher education through Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation.

Indigenization is a politically sensitive topic that evokes strong emotions in teachers. Together, we will journey forwards to recognize and include Indigenous epistemologies in our teaching in higher education.

We will run 6 sessions on Fridays from 12:00-1:00PM from April 26-May 31, 2019. You can join us on campus, at Mare Nostrum, or participate in the conversation using the Hypothes.is web annotation tool.
