New - PERFORMA RESEARCH AND INNOVATION GRANT

Congratulations to Neerusha Gokool-Baurhoo who won the Subvention de recherche et d'innovation Performa - Concours 2021!

Neerusha’s project - Stronger Together: Creating an intercollegiate community-of-practice (CoP) on blended-learning in a competency-based educational system – will focus on designing and implementing evidenced-based (techno)pedagogical approaches in blended-learning classrooms in Fall 2021.

The CoP, which brings together teachers from various colleges, will meet regularly to discuss strategies and work through issues they experience with the blended-learning approach. The CoP will share their experience and knowledge through workshops and a webpage, which will showcase articles and videos on multiple facets of the blended-learning approach. The effectiveness of the CoP will be assessed by interviewing and surveying teachers.

If you are interested in joining the CoP for blended learning approach and/or be involved in the research process, contact [email protected]

Engagement, Assessment, and Support in Digital Teaching

The following Profweb articles may be of special interest to teachers looking for ways to engage students in online learning. To access an article, click on its title.

At-home Biology Labs in Times of Pandemic By Neerusha Gokool Baurhoo, Biology teacher and Pedagogical Counsellor at Vanier Congratulations to Vanier’s own Neerusha Gokool Baurhoo for her recent publication in Profweb! This real-life story presents her ingenious at-home laboratories designed to engage students at a distance. Find out how Neerusha created lab kits for her students to be able to conduct virtual labs in small groups they normally would have done on campus, at home, thereby maintaining the hands-on and engaging nature of lab experiments.

Influencing the Progress of an Authentic Task Simulation in Distance Learning by Eric Tremblay, Teacher, Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy Putting students in contact with their future work environment is, for them, as formative as it is motivating. In a course that Eric Tremblay teaches in the Paramedic Care Program, he had the exceptional collaboration of 4 paramedics who agreed to do a pre-hospital emergency care simulation during which the students were periodically questioned, in real time, about the nature and dosage of the medication to be administered... All this, while respecting the social distancing measures that the fall 2020 session required.

Creating a Sense of Proximity With Your Students, Even at a Distance: Supporting Students Continually by Julien Martineau, Teacher, Social annotation has become the strategy to use for productive academic reading. Mastering the functionalities of digital tools and platforms in order to accomplish specific tasks is already a challenge in itself, for both students and teachers. There is another level of difficulty: how do you combine these platforms and their functionalities in order to create an interesting, motivating and effective learning dynamic? Julien Martineau explains how he used the Gather platform to connect with his students.

Digital Teaching and Learning Tools

Tips and Tricks for Teams (New Features) Microsoft has created a video with of the top 25 tips and tricks for Microsoft Teams. There are some interesting new features available, including some new, easier ways to share a PPT, the focus feature that allows users to hide participants videos during a presentation, immersive reader features in Teams messages, and much more. You can view the video here.

Upcoming Workshops, Webinars and Virtual Conferences

Best Practices and Favorite Mistakes Festival - Tuesday, May 25th | 12:30-2:00 pm

The Best Practices and Favorite Mistakes Festival is a chance for teachers to share some of what they’ve learned, what they plan on keeping when the college returns to in-person learning, and stories of things that seemed like a good idea at the time.

Come join us on May 25th, from 12:30-2:00pm to listen to some of the experiences teachers are willing to share. More information on how to join the meeting will be coming shortly. If you are interested in attending, you could also contact [email protected].

Moodle Day 21 This year’s Moodle Day (hosted by Dawson College) will be taking place on May 28th.

The following sessions are planned:  Demystifying Moodle’s Gradebook  How Moodle Can Be Used to Handle a National Exam for 21,000 Students  New at UdeM: Learning by Concordance and Syllabuses in Moodle  Learning Pros’ Initiatives Inside Moodle: H5P and More

I Annotate 2021 (All-virtual Conference)

The free conference takes place Monday, June 21 through Friday June 25th from 12pm-4pm. After a 2020 hiatus due to COVID, this will be the eighth annual gathering of educators, scholars, researchers, publishers, journalists, fact-checkers, and technologists engaged with open annotation practices and tools.

The shift to remote education during the pandemic dramatically accelerated social annotation among teachers and students around the world. The program will include a special focus on how annotation has become a powerful practice to help students succeed by making reading active, visible, and social in both face-to-face and online learning. In keeping with this year's theme — reading together — our touchstone across all sessions will be how more and more people are coming together through social annotation to share ideas, ask questions, and make connections.

AQPC Annual Conference

Le grand rendez-vous du réseau collégial revient pour sa 40e édition, les 10 et 11 juin 2021, dans une formule 100% virtuelle. Les apprentissages et les échanges n’en seront pas moins riches et féconds puisque votre Association est plus que jamais déterminée à faire rayonner la pédagogie collégiale et tous ceux et celles qui la font vivre et la portent au quotidien.

Le thème à l’honneur cette année : le développement durable. Que nous pensions aux préoccupations liées à l’avenir de la planète ou à celui de notre société, le développement durable nous amène à adopter une nouvelle posture d’éducation. L’écologisation des institutions d’enseignement et des programmes d’études s’inscrit ainsi dans un mouvement international pour faire de l’école un levier de sensibilisation et de transformation dans une perspective de durabilité. Comment notre enseignement et notre pédagogie favorisent-ils une prise de conscience des enjeux du développement durable chez la future génération? Comment favoriser l’inclusion, l’égalité et l’engagement? Comment la technologie et les découvertes scientifiques influenceront-elles nos façons de travailler et d’apprendre tout en concevant les choses autrement? Voilà le genre de questions et de réflexions qui animeront l’édition 2021 du colloque et qui permettront de se projeter dans un avenir respectueux et soucieux des générations futures.

Cette année, afin d’échanger et de tisser des liens autrement, la plateforme d’événements virtuels InEvent a été retenue pour le colloque en raison de sa facilité d’utilisation et de l’interactivité qu’elle permet.
