New and innovative teaching practices will once again be the focus of the annual Showcase of Teaching and Learning.

The one-day event, hosted by the Centre of Teaching and Learning on Tuesday, May 3, brings together Queen’s educators for a full day of presentations and discussions on initiatives that are helping them enhance the student learning experience in their classrooms.

“The value of the Showcase is that it provides our educators the opportunity to present their innovative teaching strategies to enhance teaching and learning at Queen’s,” says Peter Wolf, Associate Vice-Provost (Teaching and Learning) and Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning. “At the same time it is also a great opportunity to meet with colleagues from across the university and find out about the teaching and learning initiatives and innovations that are taking place across campus.”

Short presentations (15 minutes each) are scheduled in four areas: Assessment of Learning; Course Design; Student Learning; and onQ and Educational Technology.

With so many presentations there is something for everyone with topics such as “Enhancing Team Learning Through the Use of Peer Feedback” and “Engaged and Active Learning Strategies in a 400+ Student Class” in the morning sessions, to “How to Accommodate Students' Personalities in the Classroom” and “Using onQ Forums to Motivate Reading and Drive Tutorial Participation” in the afternoon sessions.

The Showcase of Teaching and Learning is being held from 9 am-4 pm at the Kinesiology Building (28 Division St.), Room 101.
