Welcome to the Centre for Teaching Excellence

Resources for Returning Students

Many programs at CapU are designed to attract adults who are mid-career or returning to post secondary studies to make a career change. A new resource site has been developed in eLearn to provide you with easy-to-import modules designed to help these students.

The AI Sandwich

Is it possible to layer collaboration with Generative AI tools with your own creative and intellectual work in a way that maximizes the strengths of both?

Fish Don’t Climb Trees: Symposium Day 2

Have you ever wondered why very creative, wise people who love learning attract learning disability labels? 

Session on ePortfolios opens Day 3 of Symposium

Drawing upon a framework of integrative learning, this workshop will provide guidance on where to begin in designing and implementing an ePortfolio approach to meet the learning outcomes of your course or program.

Generative AI FAQ for Students

The CTE has created a new FAQ page for students who are navigating the use of Generative AI in their learning. Link to it from your eLearn course, from the course syllabus or a specific assignment, to help students access the information they need.
