Please note this is a two-part workshop. Due to the design of the workshop, participants are expected to attend both half days — Tuesday, April 21, 2026  and Thursday, April 23, 2026.

This assessment redesign workshop explores the implications of GenAI for assessment design, offering strategies to both harness GenAI as a learning tool and address challenges. Over two half-days, the workshop provides space, time, expertise, and peer feedback to help participants create assessments that are both innovative and resilient in the age of GenAI.

​This workshop explores practical ways GenAI can assist in developing a wide range of teaching materials.

Please note: this workshop is intended for instructors that will be using LEARN in the upcoming term.

This two-hour in-person session will introduce you to LEARN (D2L Brightspace), uWaterloo's learning management system for presenting course activities and resources in on-campus and blended courses.

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.

​This workshop explores practical ways GenAI can assist in developing a wide range of teaching materials.

​GenAI tools are transforming education by providing new ways to support, individualize, and deepen student learning. But, to unlock their full potential, educators and students must learn to prompt effectively. 

New Faculty Teaching Days will take place from Tuesday, August 11, 2026 to Friday, August 14, 2026.

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.
