The Integrated Accessibility Retreat is a one-day retreat where you’ll learn how to incorporate accessible education practices into your course.

Fundamentals Microteaching Sessions provide participants the opportunity to practice delivering a 10-minute lesson and receive constructive feedback in a supportive, low-risk environment. This session is held online in Zoom.

This workshop introduces educators to a structured framework for integrating AI into course assessments, using a modified version of Perkins' AI Assessment Scale to facilitate transparent discussions about AI use with students. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to explore appropriate AI tools and approaches for their specific classroom contexts.

Learn about the PLOC framework (Persona, Level, Output, Context) for crafting effective GenAI prompts, and the various personas AI can act as, to enhance student learning and critical thinking. This hands-on workshop combines a 30-minute interactive presentation with 30 minutes of structured AI exploration.

This workshop explores practical ways GenAI can assist in developing a wide range of teaching materials. Focus areas include: i) course planning and design, ii) creation of lecture content and instructional materials, iii) creation of (formative) assessments, and iv) creation of interactive and creative content.

New Faculty Teaching Days will take place from Tuesday, August 12, 2025 to Thursday, August 14, 2025.

Please note: This workshop is intended for faculty new to Waterloo (within 5 years).

This session provides an overview of learning and learners generally, and also more specifically at Waterloo.
