Do you need to record or stream a class? Do you need to meet with students online (as a group or privately)? The Teams platform can handle this and more. This session will review the features of Teams most useful for facilitating a class, conducting a presentation, or meeting with students. It will also highlight how you can activate a team associated with your course site and the options you have to meet with the students in your class.

This session is designed to empower new faculty members with the knowledge and skills to infuse Indigenous perspectives and knowledge into their courses, fostering an inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment. Through this interactive 90-minute session, participants will explore the principles and approaches of Indigenization, gain practical strategies for incorporating Indigenous content, and learn how to create a classroom that respects and values diverse Indigenous perspectives. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the tools and resources necessary to embark on their Indigenization journey, supporting the success and engagement of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Join us in this transformative workshop to shape a more inclusive educational landscape that honors and celebrates Indigenous cultures and knowledge systems.

Across universities, teaching dossiers are increasingly used for hiring, renewal, tenure, and promotion purposes. They are powerful documents that provide for instructors the opportunity to reflect on and articulate what you value about teaching, how you believe students learn best, your teaching experiences, and more. This session will introduce teaching dossiers and their use in the post-secondary context, and will focus on the fundamentals of creating an effective teaching dossier that speaks to your beliefs about teaching and learning. We will discuss crafting a philosophy statement and collecting and displaying your teaching-related activities and accomplishments.

Welcome to a virtual interactive session introducing how to use our ‘eCV’ - an online system for your curriculum vitae (CV) required for renewal, tenure and promotion (RTP) at the University of Windsor. We will introduce how to enter information in the eCV and how to share it with your Head/Dean. We will discuss some lessons learned from personal experience on updating the eCV, and suggestions of where you might include different information. This session will provide an orientation to the new interface released in Winter 2024.
