This semester, students working in small groups have been assigned the task of selecting a “moment” they believe really matters to the history of Canada and then presenting an argument to support their choice. Each group has selected one moment from 1930-1979 and one from 1980 to the present.

do 2 prize winning instructors, 10 instructors from a variety of disciplines and TLS staff have in common? They recently came together for an informal lunch to share experiences, ideas, questions, and tips about teaching. As a newcomer to the TLS team, I was glad to be able to join them. It was an opportunity to hear about TLS services in depth, as well as what was on instructors’ minds. Together, they engaged in a spirited exchange on a variety of topics. <a

to our first post in our new series “Hacking myCourses”. We don’t actually mean “hacking” myCourses (as not to raise eyebrows at IT Security)… but rather, how can you “hack” the tools in myCourses to make them do something that isn’t intuitively obvious to do?</p> <h2><strong>Scenario</strong>:</h2> <p>You may be in a situation where you want to grade open-ended questions automatically for completion rather than for correctness. Here is a trick you can use to auto-grade open-ended questions such that anything a student enters in the answer box receives full points. <a

can be an isolating endeavour. Instructors often prep material on their own, go to class, teach, and then go back to their offices. What they do in class is almost like a hidden act shared only between themselves and their students. Especially at a research-intensive university, instructors don’t always have opportunities or make the time to chat with colleagues about what goes on in their classrooms. But such conversations have the potential for being valuable in that they can inform instructors’ choice of teaching strategies; they can inspire and motivate instructors to innovate in the classroom.</p> <p><img data-attachment-id="2177" data-permalink="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/https://teachingblog.mcgill.ca/2018/01/04/elate-teaching-week-professors-open-classrooms-for-peer-observation/elate1-2/" data-orig-file="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=227&h=193" data-orig-size="550,468" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="eLATE1" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=227&h=193?w=300" data-large-file="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=227&h=193?w=474" class=" wp-image-2177 alignright" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413im_/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=227&h=193" alt="eLATE1" width="227" height="193" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413im_/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=227&h=193 227w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413im_/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=454&h=386 454w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413im_/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=150&h=128 150w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413im_/https://mcgillteachingblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/elate11.jpg?w=300&h=255 300w" sizes="(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px"/>For one week last semester (November 20-24, 2017), <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/initiatives/elate">eLATE</a> (Enhancing Learning and Teaching in Engineering) held its first <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/initiatives/elate/teaching-week"><strong>Teaching Week</strong></a>, an initiative that addressed the isolation by providing an opportunity for instructors in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/">Faculty of Engineering</a> and the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/science/">Faculty of Science</a> to “open” their classes for observation by their colleagues. Faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and senior PhD students could learn from peers and see first-hand the implementation of a variety of teaching strategies. Some 15 professors from Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Physics, and Urban Planning participated. Those wanting to observe had to register for logistics reasons, but other than that, the event was fairly informal—there were no articulated learning outcomes and instructors were not being evaluated by their peers! By fostering peer observation and discussion of teaching practices, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/initiatives/elate">eLATE</a>’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/initiatives/elate/teaching-week"><strong>Teaching Week</strong></a> sought to build a community of practice to enhance pedagogical excellence in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180411183413/http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/">Faculty of Engineering</a>. The initiative included “coffee and chat” and “happy hour” gatherings where colleagues could reflect on and discuss the classes they had observed during the week.</p> <p> <a
