Equity, diversity and inclusion workshops
We offer a range of workshops on a variety of equity, diversity and inclusion topics and how they translate to best practices in the classroom. The topics range from an introduction to EDI principles in course design to workshops with a more specialized EDI focus in teaching and learning.

Accessible design for assessment
Assessment is the key to evaluating the success of teaching strategies. If we do not utilize diverse assessment methods that account for the abilities of the learner population in courses, we will not be able to effectively assess the efficacy of teaching strategies being employed. This course will aid Faculty and Instructors in developing diverse assessment tools that remove barriers to the expression of learning, facilitate dynamic and engaging learning environments, and develop accessible spaces for all learners.
