    What are Teaching Talks?

    Join us for an hour of your day to connect with your colleagues. These sessions serve as a springboard for discussions around a topic related to teaching and learning but really give you the chance to share the success and challenges you are facing in our new teaching reality. Each session has a topical theme but is shaped by the participants’ discussion, needs, and interests. 

    The thematic focus for this particular session is reflecting on shifts made during the past two months, in order to plan for future courses. 

    Proposed Objectives:

    • Share observations about technology in your recent remote teaching
    • Share observations about student experiences in during the recent shift
    • Reflect, write, and share thoughts about your conception of teaching in this environment
    • Share what is on your mind
