Many people struggle with reading for understanding. In this workshop, students will learn about different reading styles. They will also be introduced to reading strategies that will help them get the most of the material they read.
Every class you take presents you with lots of information to take in and learn. How can anyone remember it all? Good note taking is essential and learning how to sift through information to make effective notes will move you towards success. In this workshop students will learn and practise strategies for optimizing their note taking ability.
Many of us perform much of our work in front of a computer. The human body is generally not designed to sit for extended periods of time or to perform repetitive tasks on the computer. A safe and comfortable workstation is essential in reducing and preventing strain on our muscles and joints.

In many of today’s higher education institutions, technology has a ubiquitous presence and this is driven by the aggressive growth of mobile technologies. From a student perspective, students try to use technologies to restructure and improve their learning experiences. From a faculty perspective, faculty members try to create innovative, pedagogically sound teaching experiences using different technologies. In the case of the tablet, these ultra-light, multifunctional computers allow faculty to incorporate unique software (apps) into their classrooms and distinctive teaching methods using the features of tablets. Using the iPad tablet, this workshop will explore the basic functionality of tablets while exploring some of the more intriguing applications/apps that faculty can integrate into their teaching methods.
Note: Participants are asked to bring their iPad tablet.

Capital explores the darker elements of human nature via the ever popular flat screen TV that commands seemingly benign living spaces. It draws attention to the exploitation necessary for Western culture to acquire and maintain its affluence; the very privilege evident in the spaces photographed.
Since the invention of mechanical imaging, all photographic, cinematic and digital technologies have strived for greater resolution, delivered with greater speed. We want the world reproduced with pristine clarity, in front of our eyes immediately. What is behind our desire for such a large gorgeous image, our obsession with richer colours and the mega density of pixels?
Capital’s juxtaposition of images – struggle amidst comfort – illuminates the massive imbalance of power that is at the core of so much global suffering. Is there a dilemma in watching difficult pictures from a relatively easy vantage point?
* Some explicit imagery. Suitable for mature audiences only.

Heading out on the journey? Are you nervous about getting lost or wasting time going down the wrong road? Solution: take a map. Designing a classroom journey requires the same type of tools but instead of a map, you need to take a 4-Part Lesson Plan.
A 4-Part Lesson Plan will help you navigate the learning journey. It will enable you to avoid unnecessary side trips, dead-end roads, and traffic jams. If we enhance the scenery of value to become more focused and direct, the arrival at your destination becomes efficient and pleasurable.
Time: 9:55 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.
All students are unique. Differentiated instruction is an effective teaching practice that is responsive to the on-going learning preferences, interests and readiness of individual learners.
In the workshop, we will discover strategies to differentiate course content and the teaching process in order to foster a positive learning environment. The group will examine practical ways to incorporate this approach into planning and delivery that will allow students to achieve their individual goals.
