Community

Teaching and learning are always for a particular purpose. Most often, this purpose is grounded in benefits that accrue to communities of practice and local/global communities. Teachers and learners are part of these communities. Considering that a sense of community outside of the classroom itself is seen to be a social construction or ‘imagined’, teachers and learners need to be mindful of the spaces they create for communities to emerge and thrive.

BCcampus Event - (FUN) FLO Friday with Dr. Farah Shroff – Student-Centred Learning Online

Date:
Friday, August 14, 2020 - 12:30
Location:
On-line
During these COVID-19 times, most of us are pivoting to online teaching with some trepidation. In this FLO Friday session we take a light-hearted approach to the weighty topic of making the shift to virtual teaching while keeping our learners at the centre.  During this session, you will have the opportunity to reflect upon learner-centred teaching online compared to face-to-face teaching. And as a bonus, Farah hopes to infuse some humour into this new teaching space!

Compassion

Often, we set out to deliver course content based on clearly-defined learning objectives typically established around what we expect students to gain out of the learning experience. Sometimes, these learning outcomes emerge collaboratively with students.
