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:
- Virtual Facilitation 201: Building Engagement
- Unstable Connections: Unmuting Multilingual Learners while Working Inside the Zoom Box
- Making Teamwork Work in Online Courses
- Building Community Online
- Sincerity, Respect, and Meaning: Virtual Land Acknowledgements at UBC
- Using Social Media to Engage Students and Humanize 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.
