Disrupting Your Regular Teaching Program
This session will be focused on innovative strategies and technologies that can help you disrupt the regular grind of your class and help students better engage with you, fellow students, and the materials in the course. If you have flipped your class, engaged students using audience response systems, incorporated some new group work strategies, or disrupted your regular teaching in any way, we would like you to be part of our panel.

Please contact Brad Reamsbottom (403.380.1856) if you are interested in participating as a panel member for this event.

Horror Stories from the Classroom
Every instructor has had a horrible classroom experience. Many times after having these experiences there is time to reflect, calm down, gather some feedback and develop some new strategies. The Teaching Centre will be exploring Horror Stories from the Classroom  in October and we would like you to share your experience with us.

Please contact Brad Reamsbottom (403.380.1856) if you are interested in participating as a panel member for this event.
