By using Small Teaching strategies involving regular assessment features in Quercus and the newly available VEA tool integrated into Quercus, low English proficiency students become empowered to keep up with weekly course readings, and voluntarily self-train to improve their language skills. When students can use VEA to accelerate their language development with course content, they are able to participate actively in class.

In this presentation, we will review our experience running ESC103F tutorials pre-2017 in “old-style” tutorial rooms found in buildings like Bahen and Wallberg, our transition year in 2017 where we ran tutorials in both “old-style” rooms and the pilot TEAL room in Sandford Fleming, and our move into the Myhal TEAL rooms in 2018.

We taught our large (~800) first year engineering design course in the Active Learning classroom Myhal 150. The year was filled with amazing satisfaction, unexpected pains and what were we thinking moments. We are here to share.

In 2018-19 we both used student iPads while teaching Calculus in MY150. We will briefly explain our motivation and how we used them, before opening the floor for questions and discussion.

This presentation will provide an overview of the collaborative work underway between ACE, the Innovation Hub, and CTSI to better understand how instructors and instructional teams can be supported as they facilitate student learning in active learning classrooms.
