SUMMARY:UDL Express: MOVE into Accessibility: Meaning
DESCRIPTION:Looking for simple\, high-impact ways to make your course materials more accessible and welcoming? Join us for UDL Express: MOVE into Accessibility\, a hands-on summer webinar series designed to support small\, meaningful improvements in digital course content. This four-part series introduces the MOVE framework—Meaning\, Organization\, Versatility\, and Engagement—as a set of purpose-first design checks that help reduce common barriers to learning. Rather than focusing on tools alone\, MOVE invites instructors to reflect on design intent and make one practical improvement to their course materials that can be applied immediately. Each 30-minute session focuses on one element of the MOVE framework\, with examples drawn from Word documents\, PowerPoint slides\, and Quercus course spaces. Sessions combine brief demonstrations with guided time to work on participants’ own materials\, so you leave having made a real accessibility improvement—not just with ideas for later. Whether you’re revising a course syllabus\, refreshing lecture slides\, or preparing Quercus materials\, this series offers approachable strategies that support accessibility and inclusion for a wide range of learners. Session Schedule and Topics • Meaning: Make intent clear. Focus on clarity and purpose through descriptive links\, meaningful alt text\, plain language\, and captions or transcripts that add context. (Thursday\, May 28\, 11:30 am to 12 pm)• Organization: Make the structure obvious. Use built-in heading styles\, chunking\, true lists\, and clear page or module overviews to support navigation and comprehension. (Thursday\, June 11\, 11:30 am to 12 pm (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/6507))• Versatility: Make materials work across contexts. Check contrast\, captions\, file formats\, and mobile usability so course materials function well across devices\, tools\, and learning environments. (Thursday\, June 25\, 11:30 am to 12 pm (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/6508)) • Engagement: Make learning welcoming and motivating. Incorporate inclusive examples\, small choices\, and brief reflection prompts that invite participation and support learner connection. (Thursday\, July 9\, 11:30 am to 12 pm (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/6509)) Learning Outcomes By the end of this series\, participants will be able to: • Identify four key design checks for accessible and inclusive course materials using the MOVE framework. • Apply quick\, high-impact improvements to digital content in Word\, PowerPoint\, and Quercus. • Make purposeful design decisions in course materials that reduce barriers and support learner engagement.

SUMMARY:Making Course Improvement Visible: Student Feedback & Documenting Instructor Growth
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Haley Zubyk\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Human Biology ProgramEnd-of-term course evaluations are valuable\, but they often arrive too late to support the students currently in your classroom\, and they rarely provide the kind of specific\, actionable insight that helps you refine course design in real time. In large classes\, especially\, it can be difficult to hear from a broad range of student voices and to translate feedback into changes that are both feasible and transparent.This session will focus on practical\, scalable approaches for gathering student feedback throughout the term to improve both your course and the student experience. Topics will include designing effective mid-course feedback (what to ask and how to implement it)\, using student advisory boards to better understand student needs\, and collecting structured student reflections on how learning outcomes were achieved (or not) and how course elements like assessments and tutorials supported learning. We’ll also explore “class reaction” surveys that can be deployed quickly to check clarity of expectations\, support new activities\, and identify confusion before it becomes frustration.Participants will leave with a set of ready-to-use strategies for collecting feedback in ways that build trust and transparency\, along with guidance on how to document and use this feedback for professional development. We’ll discuss how these data and insights can support reflective teaching practice\, inform iterative course improvements\, and provide additional sources of concrete evidence for teaching dossiers\, awards\, PTR\, and other demonstrations of teaching effectiveness.Our faculty facilitators in this lunch series have completed 25 modules and earned the Certificate in Effective University Instruction offered by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) in partnership with CTSI. Learn more about the ACUE Lunch and Learn Series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/acue-lunch-and-learn/).    Series Description: 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. 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.

SUMMARY:Engage Every Student: iClicker in Action
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Bragg\, Campus Support Partner\, iClickerJoin us for a one-hour session designed to help you confidently set up and use iClicker Cloud in your classroom. We’ll walk through the setup basics—running live polling and quizzes\, tracking attendance and participation\, and syncing grades with Quercus—so you can get up and running quickly.We’ll also explore the why behind using iClicker: how real-time polling increases engagement\, supports active learning\, encourages participation from all students\, and provides immediate insight into student understanding. You’ll leave with practical strategies for using iClicker to create more interactive\, data-informed class sessions\, without adding unnecessary complexity to your workflow.Perfect for new faculty users who want both the technical know-how and the instructional value behind using iClicker effectively.
