Communities of Practice

Communities of Practice, also known as Faculty Learning Communities, provide spaces for exploring shared topics of interest and having critical discussion across disciplines.

Active Communities of Practice

Access, Inclusion and Place-based Teaching

In this Community of Practice, which is open to faculty, educational support staff and Postdoctoral Fellows, we seek to explore and share our teaching and learning strategies and practices with a focus on how we can better centre access and inclusion in active, experiential, and place-based pedagogies.

Alternative Grading

In this Community of Practice, we seek to empower educators to reimagine assessment in ways that promote deeper learning, intrinsic motivation, and student equity.
