High Impact Practices - Integrating Reflective Activities (CTE740)
The WHIP Group is collective of Waterloo faculty and staff who support the use of High Impact Practices in teaching and learning. WHIP Group members meet for lunch a few times a year to share their successes, challenges, and tips for High Impact teaching and learning.
This session focuses on integrating reflective activities combined with ePortfolios into courses to help students recognize and articulate to themselves and others the professional skills they are developing while completing course activities- skills such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork to name a few. Lunch will be provided.
Jennifer Roberts-Smith (Drama and Speech Communication), Rob Danisch (Drama and Speech Communication) and Katherine Lithgow (Centre for Teaching Excellence) look forward to telling you about their LITE Grant project Bridging the 'Articulation of Skills' Gap through 'WatCV: Career and Competency ePortfolios'. This project involves over 22 instructors and staff from across campus with representation from each faculty.
If your students have ever questioned what they will do with their Arts degree, or what they will do with their Science degree when they don’t get into med school, or raised similar questions, you’ll be interested in attending this session. WatCV will help them begin to recognize all of the professional, transferrable skills they’ve developed, but perhaps haven’t recognized.
Please join us to learn more about the project. We’ll take you through a short exercise to introduce you to the WatCV activity, and share how it is being integrated into courses in each faculty.
Lunch is on us. Please register for CTE740 High Impact Practices Group so we can plan accordingly.
