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, 2019 D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning , to name a few).

Consulting faculty and instructors and designing and 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, and learn. It energizes and inspires me to try new ideas.

Some of my educational development engagements at EDC/TLS over the years have been:

Designing and facilitating sessions in the Certificate in University Teaching program (teaching with technology, effective communication strategies, constructive alignment, micro-teaching sessions)
One of the creators and lead facilitators of the Course Design Fundamentals program (sessions on Introduction to Course Design, Learning Effectively with Multimedia Instruction, Improving Course Design through Alignment Analysis)
Designing sessions and facilitating the Sprott Teaching Certificate Program
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
Facilitating sessions in New Faculty Orientation
Facilitating sessions in Contract Instructor Orientation
