CTET leads two workshops for instructors wanting to enhance learning in a virtual environment. The workshops are available for Royal Roads core and associate faculty:

Registration is online through Professional and Continuing Studies.

If you're a Royal Roads faculty member or instructor, contact faculty development for enrolment information and next steps.

Tools for engaging learning

You can use a range of tools to create asynchronous learning opportunities and activities. Students can participate in these on their own schedules within a course, and can engage multiple times to enhance their learning.

MyMedia

MyMedia is a Moodle-integrated tool that lets you and your students create, manage and share webcam recordings, audio recordings, narrated presentations (voice-over-PowerPoint), screen recordings, and video quizzes. Users can also save and share YouTube videos. Watch a short video about MyMedia.

Padlet

Padlet gives you a space to gather and share ideas online. It can be used for brainstorming, discussions, collaboration and more. Users can add text, images, videos and other media. Padlet can be integrated into Moodle.
