Spring Perspectives on Teaching and Learning

May 5, 2025 – 10:00am-2:00pm

All members of the Brock community are welcome!

Faculty, Instructors, Teaching Assistants and community partners are invited to join the Centre for Pedagogical Innovation’s Spring Perspectives on Teaching and Learning.  

The Spring Perspectives event promotes conversations about teaching and learning. Join us for an opportunity to share, learn, consider and celebrate teaching and learning at Brock!

This day will include sessions on a variety of topics and opportunities to hear from Brock educators about their innovative practices in teaching and learning.  

We welcome proposals on topics including, but not limited to:  

• Generative AI in your teaching,  

• trauma-informed practices,  

• educational technologies,  

• innovative teaching practices,  

• open education practice and resources, 

• and accessibility. 

We welcome proposals for sessions in the following formats:

1. 15 Minute Share: A 15-minute discussion on a topic that you’d like to share relating to innovative teaching approaches or Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The 15-minute shares will take place within an hour-long session alongside similarly themed presentations. Time will be dedicated at the end of the hour for questions and discussion. 
2. 50 Minute Workshop: A 50-minute workshop sharing a practice, technique, or outcome with a small group of participants. Workshops should be interactive for participants. These workshops can take place in flexible rooms or a computer lab. 
3. Information/Poster Fair: A digital poster fair format. Presenters will remain at a station while participants move through the space. Presenters will be provided with display technology (TV screens / projectors) to visually share a topic of their choosing relating to innovative teaching or SoTL. 

The call for session proposals is now open! 

Proposals should be submitted no later than March 28th, 2025 and will be reviewed by a joint committee from across campus. Presenters will be notified of their acceptance to the event by April 7th, 2025.
