Description

When faculty thrive, their students thrive. It fills me with great satisfaction and pride that many instructors I worked with have since received teaching awards (Excellence in Blended and Online Teaching Award, Teaching with Technology Award, Provost's Fellowship in Teaching Award), and most recently
2019 D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning.

Facilitating educational development workshops, presentations and round-tables is what I am most passionate about. Being able to communicate directly with instructors and teaching assistants allows me to hear first-hand about their experiences working with students, provides me an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience, energizes and inspires me to try new ideas.

Some of the recurring educational development engagements in the past 10 years at EDC/TLS have been:

Facilitating sessions in the Certificate in University Teaching program (teaching with technology, effective online communication strategies, constructive alignment, micro-teaching sessions)
One of the creators and lead facilitators of the Course Design Fundamentals program (sessions on Designing Learning Experiences from Scratch, Learning Effectively with Multimedia, Incorporating Online Activities into Your Course)
One of the creators and facilitators of Blended and Online Teaching and Learning Certificate program (Motivation for Learning, Student Engagement, Gamification of Learning)
Facilitating sessions in Certificate in Teaching Assistant Skills program (Promoting and Sustaining Motivation in the Learning Process)
Facilitating sessions in New Faculty Orientation
Facilitating sessions in Contract Instructor Orientation
