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.
Following the initial round of testing on the efficacy of the Creator+ and Performance+ tools, the project team received budget approval to proceed with a two-year pilot of both tools. We are seeking interested individuals from across the faculties to join the pilot.
Following the initial round of testing on the efficacy of the Creator+ and Performance+ tools, the project team received budget approval to proceed with a two-year pilot of both tools.
Creator+ will continue to be investigated in the winter 2024 term by a group of cross-disciplinary faculty and instructors who are teaching a course in spring 2024. Instructors will have the opportunity to design their courses throughout the winter term with Creator+ integrated and will receive documentation, resources and training.
After a month of exploring the Creator+ and Performance+ tools in LEARN, the initial phase of testing has wrapped up. Instructors and staff involved in the pilot have submitted their feedback on the tools which will be shared with the EdTech Advisory team.
The first phase of the "Evaluating LEARN Tools - Creator+ & Performance+" is set to begin this month. A team of instructors and staff who either directly work with LEARN, or support instructors who do, has been created, whose mandate will be to test these new products and determine if they are worth piloting in more extensive detail. Early results should be available in October. If you are interested in supporting this early phase of testing, or want to be included in more robust testing, please contact the TII.
