Considering (re-)integrating in‑person assessments into your course? This webinar introduces Odyssey, UWaterloo’s exam management system, which supports the scheduling, printing, and administration of written exams. Participants will explore how Odyssey integrates with Crowdmark, a collaborative, page‑by‑page grading platform that supports question types such as written‑response and auto‑graded multiple‑choice questions.

Documenting your teaching in a dossier involves harmonizing claims, narrative descriptions of practice, and evidence. In this session, we’ll review the typical components of a teaching dossier, aligning with Policy 77. We’ll review sample teaching statements, and you’ll begin drafting or updating a teaching philosophy that reflects beliefs, goals, and approaches to undergraduate and/or graduate teaching. You will also make progress on several other components of a teaching dossier, along with a plan to gather evidence for completion and ongoing maintenance. This session is ideal for tenure stream, teaching stream, and adjunct faculty.
