Perhaps you developed a particular assignment or project or tried a new teaching approach that you would be interested in investigating. Together we will learn about the role of teacher as researcher, explore key articles on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), and support each other as we move forward to develop a teaching and learning inquiry based on our teaching practices.
The FLC will be stimulating, collaborative, and fun! Meet colleagues from a variety of disciplines who share your interest in this topic! You will be guaranteed a positive learning environment, the opportunity to meet and learn from colleagues, and, not to be overlooked, some very good food!
The FLC will meet generally every second Friday for the first term and possibly every third Friday for the Spring semester.

Capturing or Streaming your Class
2019-11-26 10:00 - 11:00 | CE223
With the potential of transit disruption this week, we have had a few inquiries as to how to record or stream in-person classes to make them available to students who are not able to attend to class.

We have created an information guide on recording and streaming classes using our videoconferencing software as well as a video.
We have an in-person workshop on capturing or streaming class on Tuesday November 26 10:00-11:00am in room CE 223
In addition, faculty might want to flip their classes to ensure that course content is available on eLearn.
We have daily in-person support in the Centre for Teaching Excellence (Fir 402) with special dedicated hours 8:30-10am during the transit disruption.

Reach out to the Centre for Teaching Excellence, cte@capilanou.ca, if you would like individual support with implementing any of these ideas.

Teaching Triangles
2019-09-18 12:00 - 13:00 | Capilano University, 2055 Purcell Way, North Vancouver, BC, V7J 3H5, Canada
Interested in observing and learning what other faculty do in the classroom? The Teaching Triangles Program provides faculty with an opportunity to gain new insight into their teaching through a non-evaluative process of reciprocal classroom observation and self-reflection. Three faculty members in each “teaching triangle” agree to visit each other’s classes over the course of a semester and then meet to discuss what they’ve learned from their observations and reflections. Teaching Triangles celebrates teaching excellence, builds rapport among faculty in different disciplines, and encourages reflection of teaching practice. Time commitment is approximately 8 hours over the course of the semester (1 hour orientation, 1 hour meeting with faculty in teaching triangle, 3 X 1.5 class visits, 1 hour wrap up and reflection).
