Part of the Tech Sandbox series, this introductory workshop helps instructors build confidence using ViewBoard Interactive displays. 

Research led by Dr. Matthew Brehmer in the U. Waterloo CS Human-Computer Interaction lab has led to a novel alternative to screen sharing content during presentations, one that composites charts and diagrams in the foreground of webcam video, content that can be manipulated via gestural interaction.

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

This two-hour (2) 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.

​Planning to teach in PHY235? This mandatory training workshop prepares instructors to effectively use Waterloo’s flexible active learning classroom, featuring movable furniture, multiple displays and whiteboards, and technology designed to support collaborative learning.

Please note this is a two-part workshop. Due to the design of the workshop, participants are expected to attend both half days — Monday, December 14, 2026 and Wednesday, December 16, 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.

Using University of Saskatchewan’s AI Literacy Framework as a foundation, this workshop presents five key dimensions of AI literacy (understanding AI and data; critical thinking and judgment; ethical and responsible use; human-centricity, relationality, and creativity; and domain expertise). As a practical component, participants will share and reflect on examples specific to their teaching context. 

​Part one of the EdTech Sandbox training series, this introductory workshop helps instructors build confidence using ViewBoard Interactive displays. Participants will explore touch, pen, erase, whiteboard/annotation, casting, and collaboration tools, and connect these skills to active learning. They will also learn ways to support collaboration, formative assessment, multimodal teaching, and student-generated content.
