Transitioning to Online Teaching at UBC: Where does the TOT fit?
The ToT is an experiential workshop that will help you consider how to balance synchronous and asynchronous teaching in your course, how to boost your teaching presence in an online environment, and give you a focused opportunity to begin the process of moving your course online. The workshop also will provide you with a chance to learn from your peers from across UBC about how they have designed and taught online. However, while it will provide you with a jumpstart, it is only one piece of the puzzle in moving to online teaching and learning. It is also only one resource within a larger suite of resources available to you in the more extensive CTLT Online Teaching Program.
The Online Teaching Program has been developed to help you adapt your course for the online environment and prepare you to teach online. The program consists of a course with self-paced modules in Canvas, multiple online workshops with experiential learning opportunities, and one-on-one consultation support with an educational consultant. It provides a much more extensive set of resources that you will be able to access as you consider additional aspects of moving your course online (e.g. course design, student assessment etc.) In the TOT, we will suggest additional content and workshops that you can take to learn more about different aspects of online teaching, learning, and design. We will also point you to other resources.

OTP Content Modules: You may proceed through the modules in the Online Teaching Program sequentially or start with the module(s) that are most relevant to your needs. Each module should take between 30 minutes to an hour to complete, although exploring supplemental materials will add to this time.
OTP Consultations: As part of the Online Teaching Program, the CTLT in Vancouver and CTL in the Okanagan are offering 1-hour, one-on-one consultations to instructors who are interested in a meeting with an educational consultant. These sessions allow you to sound out ideas about transitioning your course to the online environment, explore strategies to support active learning online, and seek additional information regarding technologies to support student engagement, interaction, and assessment.
