Event Description
In anticipation of the start of the Summer 2022 academic session, the office of the Associate Dean, Academic and Innovation, invites all Faculty of Education instructors to attend a free, online instructor orientation during which presenters will speak on:
- student well-being and creating inclusive, student-focused syllabi
- equity, inclusion and accessibility
- grading practices and trends at UBC
- promotion of academic integrity and approaches to suspected misconduct
- Canvas and instructional support available through Educational Technology Service
There will be time at the end of the session for questions and discussion.
