This is a call for session leaders for the winter 2022 Faculty Development Week! Faculty Development Week is a relatively laid-back affair where you can present on any topic that you believe might be valuable to your colleagues when it comes to teaching, research and more!
For ideas on what faculty may find interesting, in the summer 2021 Faculty Development Week, we had sessions that included different ways and thoughts on grading, an introduction to the Mission and Curriculum Resource, using various online tools to make courses more interactive and more!
You can take a look at descriptions for those sessions here. Sessions and leading sessions are open to both faculty and staff.
If you are interested in leading a session, please Email either Mark Gallimore, PhD or Tyler Kron-Piatek. Also, note that sessions will be recorded and shared with your fellow faculty and staff by request unless you would prefer your session not recorded.

As part of the summer update to D2L, a new tool called “accommodations” has been added to make it easier to give students extra time on quizzes.
The accommodations Tool is similar to giving a student extra time in special access, but you can set special access for all quizzes in a course at once, rather than at each individual quiz. Once a student has been given an accommodation, you can easily identify the student in the class list by looking for the accommodations symbol to the right of their names (as in the image above). Learners with accommodations will also see this symbol in the class list while they are taking quizzes.
To add an accommodation (for example, extra time on quizzes) in the class list, click the dropdown arrow to the right of their name. In the menu, click “edit accommodations.”
