Facilitating and Engaging Students in Discussion and Feedback Course

Posting Date(s)

The UPEI Teaching and Learning Centre is currently looking for instructors or graduate and post-doctoral students who want to teach and would be interested in taking this course. We need participants to sign up for the synchronous portions of the course.

Part of the Academic Instructional Skills program, the three-part course investigates ways to create a positive classroom environment and encourage more effective discussion and productive groups, as well as look at ways of dealing with common group work and discussion dilemmas. Part one and three are delivered asynchronously online. Part two is a choice between taking a one-hour in-person class focused on practicing the delivery of discussion and group work in an in-person environment or a one-hour online class focused on practicing the delivery of discussion and group work in an online environment. Participants are welcome to take both the in-person and online sessions if they choose.
