Please take 5-10 minutes to complete our survey. It will remain open until September 11.

Your feedback will help inform you potentially significant changes.  

Any questions about this survey or CEL can be sent to Aldo Caputo, CEL Director (acaputo@uwaterloo.ca). 

Thank you in advance for your participation and feedback!

The University of Waterloo’s Online Teaching Awards recognize teaching and course design excellence in fully online undergraduate- or graduate-level courses and programs.

Retirement Notice – Dina Meunier

It is with some sadness (and perhaps a bit of envy) that the team at the Centre for Extended Learning (CEL) shares the news that Dina Meunier, Associate Director of Online Learning, has elected to take early retirement to spend more time with her family (and likely a fair amount more on the golf course).

Dina started her career with CEL 12 years ago as an Online Learning Consultant. Later she assumed the role of acting Associate Director multiple times when CEL’s director took on other duties, formally becoming Associate Director in 2018.

Were you a student in a fully online (ONLN) course this term? If you had an exceptional experience in your online course, consider nominating your instructor for the Online Teaching Award.
