CTLT is offering both synchronous and asynchronous workshops to support your learning in the Online Teaching Program. Check the CTLT Events Page to sign up for this month’s synchronous workshops, or you can take advantage of the on-demand workshop recordings that complement this module. 

We recommend the following playlist of on-demand workshops to complement this module:

• Reimagining Assessments for the Online Classroom
• Using the UBC Wiki to Enhance Student Learning Through Open Assignments
• Creating Multiple Choice Questions for Higher Order Learning
• Peer Feedback for Meaningful Student Engagement in Online Teaching
• Building Authentic Assessment for Online Learning

Because teaching online requires different skills, strategies and tools than in the face-to-face classroom, UBC faculty have requested the opportunity to “practice” with online teaching tools. In order to support this, the CTLT is offering instructors the opportunity to practice an online lesson or a Zoom activity. To register for this unique opportunity submit a request for a 1:1 consultation.
