Simple and Effective Online Teaching – Grad Student Edition

Simple and Effective Online Teaching – Grad Student Edition (with James Skidmore)

We’re all online teachers now. And this scares us a bit, because online teaching has a reputation for being technology-heavy and difficult to master. This webinar will help us dial back some of that anxiety. It will introduce some simple strategies, such as discussion forums, course organization, and curation, that can be used to create effective online courses using the tools already available at any Canadian university.

Collaborative Works-in-Progress: Rediscovering Alexander Moritz Frey

Paola Mayer + Rüdiger Müller

Our talk will focus on our forthcoming edition of Frey's short fiction and on our plan for an article on his tale, "Der Mensch." We will address such questions as: Who was Alexander Moritz Frey? What did his oeuvre look like? How does one create an anthology that will put him back on the literary map? What does a Robinsonade written in 1940 by an exile author look like?
