Consultation

We offer tailored, individualized consultation to explore best practices on ways to enhance teaching effectiveness and improve your student learning across all types of courses and students. We will observe class, review instructional materials, collect and interpret student feedback, and introduce new and exciting technologies and pedagogies.

Examples of areas we can help are:

• Improving Learning
  Teaching and learning are inextricably connected. When thinking about improving our teaching effectiveness, we should always look at how and why our students’ learning is impacted. Our teaching approaches, strategies, and beliefs affect what our students will know, feel, or be able to do. We can help academic and teaching staff identify and implement effective and inspiring ways in which to create an effective learning environment.

• Experimenting new pedagogies.
  Academic and teaching staff may have heard experiential or problem-based learning, or flipped class. There are many strategies and pedagogies to choose from but which ones are most effective for each case?  We can explore these pedagogies with academic and teaching staff and assist you in implementing strategies to best motivate your students and improve their learning.

• Introducing new technologies
  An effective learning environment can go beyond the pedagogies and strategies academic and teaching staff use. We can introduce emerging technologies that can completely change the learning environment.

• Professional Development
  Beyond individual consultations, can facilitate the development of learning communities where academic and teaching staff can share and discuss important and relevant teaching and learning areas.
