Faculty Development

• An Introduction to Lesson Planning and Active Learning, 
• Assessment Foundations, 
• Facilitating Student Learning through Engagement, Agency, and Metacognition, and
• Professional Practice for Educators. (currently under development)

Principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Equity, Diversity, Decolonization and Inclusion (EDDI) are woven throughout the modules. Each module includes a mix of learning activities including readings, videos, knowledge checks and prompts for reflective practice. The modules include professional voice over and ASL interpretation. These modules will benefit educators coming to postsecondary settings as subject matter experts with little formal teacher training/experience, especially in hybrid/online learning. These modules will provide flexible options to engage with/reference content throughout the first years of teaching.

The Resources for Sessional Faculty Moodle shell contains various resources to support sessional faculty at Keyano. 

Topics include:

• Administrative Tasks
• Course Development Resources
• Lesson Planning & Engagement
• Assessment
• Facilitating Student Learning
• Teaching Online
• Supports
• Technology
• Academic Integrity
• Keyano Resources

The Course Development Resources Moodle shell outlines the recommended major steps for developing a new course or updating an existing, with adherence to Keyano's Course Quality Guidelines.  The site includes the Quality Guidelines, ten-step development checklist, templates, and resources.  

The Online Teaching Program was developed by the UBC Centre for Teaching, Learning & Technology (n.d.). Except where otherwise noted, this course content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.  The modules in this course are designed to help you adapt your course for the online environment as well prepare to teach online. This course does not focus on technical skills, but does include links to external resources. If you are unfamiliar with Moodle, we recommend you start by enrolling in Moodle 4.1

You may proceed through the modules sequentially or start with the module(s) that are most relevant to your needs. Each module should take between 30 minutes to an hour to complete, although exploring supplemental materials will add to this time. The modules are self-paced and not facilitated (i.e., there is no one “teaching”).  We also offer opportunities for you to connect with the Learning Innovation team regarding any questions you have, or feedback you’d like, related to preparing your course. If you'd like to schedule a one-on-one consultation session, please email CTL@keyano.ca.
