ITMS and the TII are looking for instructors, students, and staff with experience, or who are willing to use polling tools Vevox and/or iClicker to participate in a pilot during the Fall 2024 and/or Winter 2025 terms. Note: interested students can apply to join the pilot so long as they have experience using either polling tool; there is no requisite that students must join the pilot with their instructor.

NEW! Vevox, one of the supported polling tools currently being piloted, will have an integration with LEARN enabled for the Fall 2024 term. This integration will allow Vevox to push grades to LEARN for correct answers and/or for participation.  

Join us on July 25th, 2024 from 12:30pm-2:30pm at the Wicked Problem of Precarity Symposium. The symposium will feature the culmination of student and instructor work with poster presentations, networking, and graduate students insights. 

The Accelerating Sustainability into the Curriculum Report is here. The report highlights existing siloed efforts at integrating sustainability principles into education at Waterloo and strong campus support for a more cohesive approach to integrating sustainability into education.

On August 15th from 10:30am-11:30am, the Centre for Teaching Excellence is hosting a workshop for instructors about Assistive Technologies Students Use to Support Learning. 

The Teaching Innovation Incubator, in collaboration with Instructional Technologies and Media Services is now piloting the Creator+ tool to help University of Waterloo faculty and staff enhance student engagement in their LEARN courses.

The instructors of the Wicked Problem of Climate Change (Fall 2024) course offering sat down with Waterloo Imprint to discuss some of the features of the next iteration of the Wicked Problem Course. 

Earlier this month, two members of the Student-Led Individually Created Course (SLICC) project team, facilitated a workshop at the University of Waterloo’s Teaching and Learning Conference. Aligning with the conference theme, “Sparking and Sustaining Student Engagement,” the workshop centred on cultivating self-directed learners for today’s rapidly changing world.

Connect with Emma McDougall, SLICCs Project Manager to learn more about how you can incorporate a SLICCs framework into your course to enhance student learning.

The Accelerating Integration of Sustainability into the Curriculum project shared their findings from their study on integrating sustainability into the curriculum at the University of Waterloo's Teaching and Learning Conference. 

The need to incorporate sustainability into post-secondary education is identified and supported by undergraduate students.
