Online Inclusive Teaching Workshop Series Description:
This year the Writing & Learning Centre will offer synchronous workshops for Faculty via Microsoft Teams. These workshops will focus on a range of topics related to English Language Learning, inclusion, and teaching online.
Workshop Description:
The online learning environment in Fall 2020 offers specific opportunities and challenges for our teaching as we continue to decolonize our pedagogy as an OCAD U community. As students’ home spaces become their classroom spaces where they create, make, write and explore, it is particularly important to reflect on how our teaching practices can reinforce or challenge specific “social visions” of teaching, learning and creative practice.
In this workshop, Emilie Brancato and Shahin M. Sarabi will draw on their lived experiences as educators and educational research to share strategies for assignment design and feedback/assessment that actively support the embedded identities of linguistic and racially diverse students in online classes.
Facilitators:
Emilie Brancato, Manager, English Language Learning (ELL), WLC
Shahin M. Sarabi, English Language Learning (ELL) Specialist, WLC
