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:

• Supporting Student Well-being in an Online Learning Environment
• Preventing and Responding to Sexualized Violence: Considerations for Digital Classrooms
• Intersections of Decolonization, Allyship and Transformative Teaching and Learning
• The UBC Early Alert Program: Support for Students to Get Back on Track
• Cultivating Solidarity and Nurturing an Anti-Racist Teaching Practice

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.
