JoinÌýÌý(University of Edinburgh) for an interactive workshop on theÌýStudent-Led Individually Created Course (SLICC)Ìýframework, an approach to self-directed experiential learning developed at the University of Edinburgh. Discover how this innovative approach allows students to design their own learning experiences, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and reflective practice. Simon will share practical insights on implementing SLICCs, discuss their impact at the University of Edinburgh, and share how including the SLICC framework could further benefit the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

JoinÌýÌý(University of Edinburgh) as he explores how theÌýStudent-Led Individually Created Course (SLICC)Ìýframework can be a powerful tool for supporting Ìýinterdisciplinary learning. In this talk, Dr. Riley will discuss how the SLICC framework is being used in multiple programs at the University of Edinburgh to support interdisciplinarity in education and research. Learn how this innovative framework can be applied in the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ context to support our À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ at 100 goal of increasing interdisciplinary learning experiences that prepare students for complex, real-world challenges.

Description:

Creator+ is D2L's next iteration of its engagement features on LEARN. Creator+ offers instructors the tools needed to elevate the online student learning experience. Instructors can use Creator+ to seamlessly integrate interactive digital course content into LEARN and allow students to work in the LEARN system with dynamic elements. Creator+ offers the integration of practice exercises, interactive components, and video recordings directly within the LEARN system. Creator+ also utilizes GenAI to help develop quiz questions via its Lumi tool, and is exploring the integration of H5P (another interactive content creation tool) directly into LEARN.

Join us as three instructors – Dr. Emily McLaughlin (Kinesiology), Dr. Amit Mehta (School of Accounting and Finance), and Dr. Brendan Riggin (Recreation & Leisure Studies) – share how they have used Creator+ in their courses. You’ll have the chance to see examples of Creator+ used in courses at UW, hear about the experiences of these instructors, and ask questions about how it could be used in your own courses.

Please note that Creator+ is still currently a pilot at UW. If you’d like to sign up to try it in your own courses, please complete an expression of interest form.
