Program description
Main content
The Program for University Pedagogy offers courses to support staff in completing their required basic pedagogical competence. The program consists of four key parts, 3 required courses and several options for the completion of electives. The three required courses are UPED 600: Introduction to Teaching at University and Course Design, UPED 601: Documenting and Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness, and UPED602: Pedagogical Project. You can read a description of each course in the Course Descriptions page.
In addition to these three courses, one can select up to 6 Elective Courses focused on a wide variety of topics including educational technologies, equity and accessibility in teaching and learning, supervision, feedback, assessment, and teaching strategies (e.g. team-based learning, experiential education, interactive lecture strategies, etc.).
From the Elective courses, all participants will be required to complete at least one course focused on supervision, one on educational technologies and one on equity and accessibility in teaching and learning. Elective Courses are typically shorter than Core Courses and allow participants to develop breadth in their teaching knowledge as well as a place to gather new ideas for their teaching practice.
