They implemented\, reimagined\, and extended evidence-based teaching practices to support their teaching\, learning and student success at U of T. This Series invites participants to hear from these instructors: their reflections upon what they have learned\, and practical examples and tips informed by evidence-based strategies. Facilitators will engage in discussions on sharing these approaches into one’s current practice.In this workshop\, Professor Toula Kourgiantakis will discuss her ongoing learning on how to incorporate equity\, diversity\, inclusion\, and accessibility (EDIA) in the classroom to have meaningful and transformative learning experiences. Professor Kourgiantakis will focus on three areas that have enhanced her teaching: 1) knowing oneself and how that is reflected in what we teach and how we teach\, 2) building relationships with students and a sense of community in the classroom\, and 3) incorporating EDIA in the course design and syllabus. Professor Kourgiantakis will give specific examples on how each area impacts creating more inclusive classroom space and more positive teaching and learning experiences.

Do you want to respond to the needs of all your students? Do you want to create a genuinely inclusive and equitable environment in your classroom? Do you want a classroom full of motivated\, enthused\, and interested learners? Join us for a roundtable on the opportunities and affordances of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) – a set of principles for curriculum development and engagement that strives to give all students equal opportunities to learn. Whether you are a UDL novice or expert\, join us for a conversation about strategies for integrating multiple means of engagement\, assessment design (action and expression) and representation (of course content).  URL:https://teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca/event/equity-roundtable-universal-design-for-learning-engaging-all-your-students/ CATEGORIES:Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230310T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230310T113000 DTSTAMP:20240313T135752Z CREATED:20240313T135752Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T135752Z UID:10008627-1678440600-1678447800@teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca SUMMARY:Introduction to Open Educational Resources: Removing Barriers from Within DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:David Kwasny\, Data and Digital Literacy Librarian\, DSU\, UTSCSarah Shujah\, Liaison Librarian\, UTSC and CTSI PASS Librarian Are you curious about finding teaching materials to support student learning? Or perhaps you are interested in developing teaching materials that all students can access? Celebrate Open Education Week (https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/) and learn how Open Educational Resources (OER) can be optimized for instructional use in this interactive workshop. OER reduces the financial barrier to access materials for students while also strengthening student engagement and learning. You will be introduced to what OER is in comparison to other ‘free’ materials\, unpack the meaning of Creative Commons licensing when using OER\, practice attributing open resources like images\, find and assess OER that you can use in your teaching\, and last discuss how you can contribute to the OER community.  By the end of the session you will: • define open educational resources (OER) • identify the different types of Creative Commons licenses and what each allows/does not allow for the use of an OER • correctly attribute open resource such as images that may be used in presentations • locate OER including open textbooks\, lab/activity materials\, lesson plans\, lectures\, and more • discuss the challenges and benefits of using OER in your teaching  • assess how you will use OER in your own teaching such as adopt\, adapt\, create\, and contribute  URL:https://teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca/event/introduction-to-open-educational-resources-removing-barriers-from-within/ CATEGORIES:Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230328T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230328T130000 DTSTAMP:20240313T135751Z CREATED:20240313T135751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T135751Z UID:10008631-1680004800-1680008400@teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca SUMMARY:ACUE Lunch and Learn: Engaging Students in Meaningful and Authentic Assignments DESCRIPTION:Part of the CTSI ACUE-Certified Effective Teaching Practices Showcase (https://teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca/acue-lunch-and-learn/) Join U of T faculty graduates of the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) Effective Teaching Practices course (ACUE-Certified Faculty) as they share insights from the 25 modules they completed over several months.

Facilitators will engage in discussions on sharing these approaches into one’s current practice.Facilitator: Linda Trinh\, Assistant Professor\, Exercise Oncology Laboratory\, Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical EducationHow do we bring the real world to the classroom to create more meaningful assignments? It is often challenging to create connections between students’ learning experiences and their everyday lives. The session will focus on inquiry-based learning by implementing instructional practices that support student success and course learning outcomes. Developing meaningful assignments will empower students to apply the content and skills they learned during the concept exploration and concept introduction stages to authentic scenarios and problems.

They represent a tremendous diversity resource if we create opportunities for them. While many Chinese students perform well academically\, those with very low proficiency levels struggle. Chinese students are likely overrepresented\, along with other equity-deserving groups in plagiarism charges (Eaton\, 2022; Friesen\, 2023) but their language burden seems under-represented in institutional data and practice. What might be some inequity issues we need to consider?We will share some useful insights that we have gained through supporting students with extremely low proficiency in the Reading and Writing Excellence (RWE) program by implementing Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (Huo & Khoo\, 2022) that can inform our roundtable discussion on pedagogy for active learning so that more students with language limitations can participate with necessary institutional support to help them overcome their initial barriers. We will also collaboratively reflect on our future course design and scaffold for academic integrity practice in this roundtable.Learning Outcomes:By attending this roundtable\, participants will• become aware of research-based and practice-based evidence of Chinese students’ challenges\, aspirations\, and potential to contribute/engage• learn how to create learning experiences in their courses to encourage more student transformation from “powerless” to “empowered”• understand culturally responsive pedagogy and the application of anti-deficit mindset• learn about harnessing differences as strengths and promoting equity and interactional diversityNOTE: You will be asked to answer additional questions when registering. \nEaton\, S.

The goal of this series is to provide an opportunity for our community to explore the SoTL literature in a group setting\, both to find practical applications to implement in the classroom and to inform our own SoTL projects.Articles in this series are selected by instructors within our SoTL community\, and these papers are a starting point to explore and examine one research study. Facilitators provide discussion prompts to guide and engage us in conversations that will resonate across all disciplines and SoTL experience levels.Facilitators:Tara Black\, Assistant Professor\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social WorkAlex Rennet\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Mathematical and Computational Sciences\, UTMArticle:Jensen\, J.\, Smith\, C. M.\, Bowers\, R.\, Kaloi\, M.\, Ogden\, T. H.\, Parry\, K. A.\, Payne\, J. S.\, Fife\, P. & Holt\, E. (2022). Asynchronous Online Instruction Leads to Learning Gaps When Compared to a Flipped Classroom. Journal of Science Education and Technology\, 31(6)\, 718-729. [Library Permalink (https://librarysearch.library.utoronto.ca/permalink/01UTORONTO_INST/fedca1/cdi_eric_primary_EJ1351286)] \nDiscussion Prompts: \n1. The authors cite various meta-analyses (p719-720) that suggest a “positive trend for online instruction” (versus traditional instruction). But the results of the paper seem to show the opposite. Does this surprise you? How does it line up with your own experience teaching online and in-person?2. What did you think of how the authors of this study attempted to address confounding variables\, such as instructor-as-researcher\, and student self-selection into course delivery modalities? Were there any confounding variables that they neither addressed nor controlled for?  Do you worry about these same variables in your own SoTL work? Have you found ways to get around them?3. The authors raise Social Presence Theory in their discussion (p 726)\, noting that faculty and peer interactions could be a significant driver of the disparity in student performance they observed.  Are you familiar with SPT? If so\, have you applied it in your teaching (esp. of non-in-person modalities\, recently or during the pandemic)?  Do you think that SPT plays a crucial role in students’ performance in a course delivered in non-traditional modes\, or do you think there are other factors at play that are at least as important?CTSI Staff:Cora McCloy\, PhD\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL Kyle Turner\, MSc\, Faculty Liaison\, Teaching and LearningPlease email kyle.turner@utoronto.ca (mailto:%20kyle.turner@utoronto.ca) with any questions about this event.We invite you to enroll in the SoTL Hub (https://q.utoronto.ca/enroll/R7PRJ4) on Quercus to access materials (https://q.utoronto.ca/courses/214089/pages/programming) from this and other series.
