Public German Studies, which is an open access research webspace and open educational material repository for German Studies has launched. The site, developed by James Skidmore, Associate Professor and Director of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies at the University of Waterloo, is an exploration of how open education would work in a humanities/liberal arts field.

Open Education Week, which runs from March 4 - 8, 2019, celebrates the open education movement and raises awareness of open education work and its impact on teaching and learning.

ONLINE DEGREES LET YOU ADVANCE YOUR CAREER WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT

In math, as in life, there’s never just one way to arrive at the right answer. It’s why a flexible, learning-centred approach to education just makes sense.

We've just released 5 video modules to help adults who are thinking about going back to school part-time or online.  No matter what stage of the journey you're at, there is something for everyone who wants to continue their education.

The modules cover:

Are you a mature student who is curious about getting a university degree, but not willing or able to attend school full-time?  Your choices and options can be very confusing.

We want to help, so we're hosting two webinars geared to adult learners to help you understand the process, what's required and how part-time and online studies work.

Join us on Oct 22 or Oct 26 and learn what everything you need to know. We'll  have people online to answer any of your questions.

Please join us for Open Access Day on Thursday, October 25, 2018. This will be a day-long conference of speakers and workshops discussing the various methods, benefits and challenges of Open Access, and the services and resources available to scholars across the university.

Experiential Learning using Riipen

Instructors, are you interested in incorporating an experiential learning opportunity into your online or on-campus course next term? You should consider taking part in Waterloo’s Riipen pilot project.  Riipen is a micro-experiential learning platform facilitating connections among students, educators, and industry partners such as local companies, community organizations, government agencies and Non-Government Organizations.

As of August 1, 2018, the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) will be sharing our space on the second floor of EC3 on a temporary basis.  Plans for CTE’s new permanent location are under discussion and will be shared with the university community when they are finalized. You can reach them by email or by phone: 519-888-4567, ext. 33353.
