Faculty Development

The mandate of the CEI is to support faculty in improving pedagogy and developing innovative, technologically enhanced teaching. The CEI aims to provide this through professional development in teaching and learning, technology training, educational technology support, course redesign, and guidance in teaching and learning scholarship. Much of CEI’s work during its first year has been directed toward preparing faculty for the launch of the iPad mobile learning initiative. A number any workshops, training sessions and consultations have been conducted.

During December 2012, the CEI organized two full days of professional development in which more than 90 faculty members delivered over 160 sessions across the two campuses. This was the largest professional development initiative ever undertaken by the institution.
