TLC May 2020 Workshop
The rapid transition to online teaching has been a catalyst for change and growth in our pedagogy and andragogy. The May workshop was an opportunity for faculty to take time to reflect on challenges, surprising successes, and lessons we may carry forward. The day began with a keynote and Q&A from Bernie Cantens, Associate Provost of Online Education and Innovation, outlining his vision for the office of Online Education and Innovation. The second half of the workshop provided a space for facilitated discussion among faculty to reflect together on their work during this time of change.
