Teaching Notes
Our newsletter Teaching Notes is emailed on a monthly basis to Trent faculty and instructors. The newsletters contain helpful tips, resources, and announcements about our events and activities.
Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Artificial intelligence software like GPT-3 and Bert are large language models (LLMs) that use algorithms to create original text. Additionally, some artificial intelligence applications (e.g., DALL-E) can create images, music, mathematical computations, and code.
Open Educational Resources
In 2021 and 2022 several projects at Trent received over $900,000 through the province's Virtual Learning Strategy (VLS) to develop and improve digital content and capacity.
Indigenization
"We foster an environment where Indigenous knowledges are respected and recognized as a valid means by which to understand the world."
Assessment Resources
While remote learning led to significant challenges around assessment, it also offered opportunities to rethink approaches to assignments and exams.
Teaching and Learning Resource Hub
Recordings of recent and popular workshops and lectures in the Media Centre as well as a wealth of resources and supports on SoTL and Research Ethics
Universal Design for Learning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an innovative framework that supports all learners – regardless of socioeconomic, cultural, gender, language, cognitive, physical, and emotional background.
Hybrid Teaching Resources
Hybrid courses combine face-to-face instruction with online learning in order to take advantage of the strengths of both in-person and digital spaces; students attend some in-person class meetings and also engage with a significant amount of content asynchronously online.
