Teaching and Learning Processes

		Teaching and Learning Resources VIU Teaching and Learning Centre
A comprehensive list of resources about teaching and learning processes.

One of the four key initiatives at the VIU Teaching and Learning Centre is to enhance teaching and learning processes that:

• contribute to student retention,
• facilitate capacity building within our educational community,
• promote recruitment of quality professionals, and
• provoke dynamic curriculum development.

To accomplish this ongoing development in teaching and learning, our centre strives to:

• understand the teaching and learning needs at VIU,
• develop and implement relevant professional development,
• support institutional strategic plans related to teaching and learning environments,
• contribute to committees engaged in enhancing teaching and learning activity, and
• participate in collegial activity to further teaching and learning processes.

Some of our projects related to this initiative include:

• Faculty and staff professional development surveys;
• Institutional orientations for new employees (with Human Resources);
• Teaching Matters workshops sharing effective teaching practices;
• Teaching Commons discussions;
• Open Door Week;
• Instructional Skills workshops;
• Internationalizing the Curriculum workshops, consultation and institute;
• VIU Employee Technology Centre;
• Departmental, disciplinary and one-to-one consultations.
