Open Education Talks 2024
Since 2022, Werklund School of Education has collaborated with other institutions in western Canada to present an annual series of lightning talks each March to coincide with Open Education Week. The purpose of these talks is to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in conversations about open education. The next series of Open Education Talks will begin on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 from 12:00 to 1:30pm and will continue each Wednesday throughout March. To join, click the Register link below.
Teaching and Learning Vignettes
In recent years, the Werklund School of Education has supported research by its instructors in teaching and learning practices and research. Many of these instructors have shared the results of their practice and research in the form of brief, peer-reviewed articles called vignettes. These vignettes have been published in the PRISM repository through the university library, to access this research visit the link below and if you wish to contribute a vignette, email us at tandl@ucalgary.ca.
SoTL Grants & Awards
The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) integrates teaching, learning and research. Faculty seed grants and University grants are available each year for SoTL projects. Faculty awards and University awards are given each year to celebrate excellence in teaching and learning.
Teaching Assistant Preparation Program
This program provides supports for graduate students and post-doctoral scholars interested in developing skills to serve as teaching assistants. Participants attend four workshops with the Office of Teaching and Learning, four workshops with the Taylor Institute and observe two classroom sessions. Those completing the program receive a microcredential and a digital badge for their curricular record.
AI and the Classroom
As Generative Artificial Intelligence becomes a more prevalent part of education at all levels, we will be looking at ways to share research, resources and other information as it emerges. If you are interested in joining our Artificial Intelligence Community of Practice, please contact us.
