SUMMARY:Tiny Teaching Tales
DESCRIPTION:Tiny Teaching Tales\nDate: Thursday\, May 22nd\, 2025 \nTime: 3:30-5:00pm (AT) / 2:30-4:00pm (ET) / 11:30-1:00pm (PT) \nRegister here! \nWorkshop Description: \nInspired by Chris Anson and Nancy Sommers’ work with “Writing and Sharing Tiny Teaching Stories\,” this interactive workshop aims to bring together Yorkville U and TFS faculty and staff to do just the same: write and share some of our tiny teaching tales together! In the vein of the NY Times’ “tiny love stories” series\, Anson and Sommers shift the lens of love to that of teaching to see what happens when we capture something interesting or memorable about our teaching experiences in no more than 100 words. \nCome ready to write in this CTEI workshop\, in whichever medium you prefer! We’ll start with an overview of the genre of tiny teaching tales as well as hear some examples\, and then we’ll draft\, share\, and share back some of our own. We’ll end our session together by reflecting on our experiences writing these tales and on the feedback we received in sharing them as well as brainstorm together how we might use this genre not just to hone our teaching crafts but in our teaching practices with our students\, too.

SUMMARY:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice – June 2025 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice – June 2025 Meeting\nDate: Monday\, June 16th\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nSign up to join! (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account) \n  \nFictional Classrooms National Community of Practice Description:   \nOver the past three years\, our very own Matthew Dunleavy (CTEI Senior Educational Developer\, Faculty Excellence and Development) and his colleague\, Robin Sutherland-Harris (York University)\, have facilitated the Fictional Classrooms community. The current iteration brings together educational/curriculum/faculty/instructional developers and instructors from across Canada and the US to explore and reflect on narratives of education in films\, television\, short stories\, and novels. These works may speak to us as learners\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, artists\, and/or simply as humans.  \nFor Summer 2025\, the Fictional Classrooms community is delving into Donna Tartt’s novel The Secret History (1992).  \nThe Secret History Synopsis:  \nUnder the influence of their charismatic Classics professor\, a group of clever\, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality\, their lives are changed profoundly and forever\, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.  \nThe Fictional Classrooms Community Summer 2025 Schedule:  \nThe novel is nicely split into two books\, so we will meet twice on the following Mondays from 1:00-2:00pm EST via Zoom:  \n\nMonday\, June 16th – Book 1 of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History \n\n\nMonday\, August 18th – Book 2 of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History \n\nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Summer 2025:  \nPlease sign up as follows:  \n\nVisit https://groups.google.com/search?q=FictionalClassroomsED (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account) \n\n\nOn the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group \n\n\nMatthew and Robin will approve your request within 2 working days\, and you will then have access to the group\, including their shared Google Folder and Calendar.  \n\nNote from Matthew and Robin: We approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community.

SUMMARY:Dr. Ben Lee Taylor on the Generative AI and Assessment (GAIA) Project and the value of SoTL
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ben Lee Taylor on the Generative AI and Assessment (GAIA) Project and the value of SoTL\nDate: Monday\, June 23rd\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegister here! \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nWhen ChatGPT launched publicly in November 2022\, Ben Lee Taylor was teaching writing-intensive courses and serving on an academic integrity committee at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto. By December 2022\, the committee was already adjudicating its first case of suspected AI misuse by a student\, sparking questions about how this new technology might forever reshape the landscape of higher education. For Dr. Taylor\, these questions ultimately evolved into the Generative AI and Assessment (GAIA) project\, a multiphase study funded by McMaster University’s MacPherson Institute involving surveys of Canadian instructors\, analysis of sample assessments\, and follow-up interviews.   \nThis session will introduce some of the project’s findings and outputs (including a descriptive assessment design framework)\, while also detailing some key practical steps involved in SoTL research\, from question formation to ethics approval\, recruitment\, and data management. In doing so\, the session will explore how SoTL research offers opportunities to investigate specific teaching contexts\, contribute to broader pedagogical conversations\, engage in meaningful cross- and interdisciplinary collaboration\, and develop new technical and professional skills.   \nIf you’ve ever had questions or thoughts about teaching and learning that are worth investigating systematically\, this session will hopefully make the SoTL research process feel more accessible and less intimidating.  \nSoTL Speaker Bio: \nBen Lee Taylor received his PhD in English from York University in 2021\, where his dissertation examined the intersections of gender politics and artistic production in early 20th century satire. His experiences teaching during and after the COVID-19 pandemic\, however\, led him to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship with McMaster University’s MacPherson Institute. In this position\, he conducted a study (results pending) investigating how university and college instructors in Canada continue to respond to generative AI through assessment practices. He currently oversees writing support programs and services for undergraduate and graduate students with McMaster’s Student Success Centre\, and his thinking about the role that generative AI can and should play in the writing process fluctuates daily.

SUMMARY:Dr. Lisa Endersby on Experiential Learning and Reflective Practice: From "What Happened" to "What Matters"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lisa Endersby on Experiential Learning and Reflective Practice: From “What Happened” to “What Matters”\nDate: Monday\, August 11th\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegistration link \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nLearning through experience promises meaningful\, impactful student outcomes\, but navigating the path from “experience” to “experiential” can be daunting with varied definitions\, critical demands on our time\, and new challenges for assessment. In this session\, we’ll unpack what EE\, EL\, WIL and other acronyms mean for our pedagogy and practice. Beginning with a review of current theories and context\, we’ll explore reflection as the pedagogical “glue” that binds these ideas together and can help make learning “stick”. The session will include time for discussion and hands-on practice with reflective methods. \nSoTL Speaker Bio: \nDr. Lisa Endersby brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of teaching and learning. She has held numerous teaching and learning roles in colleges and universities across Ontario\, while also contributing to national and international professional organizations in several volunteer leadership roles. Across all of these experiences is a human-centred approach to teaching and learning alongside an organized\, detail-oriented\, forward-thinking approach to co-designing online\, in person\, and hybrid teaching/training sessions. Whether puttering in the garden\, picking a book from a large to-be-read pile\, playing with her two cats\, or reading up on the latest in reflective pedagogies\, she brings a curiosity\, openness\, and genuine joy to unique teaching and learning journeys.

SUMMARY:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice – August 2025 Meeting

The current iteration brings together educational/curriculum/faculty/instructional developers and instructors from across Canada and the US to explore and reflect on narratives of education in films\, television\, short stories\, and novels. These works may speak to us as learners\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, artists\, and/or simply as humans.  \nFor Summer 2025\, the Fictional Classrooms community is delving into Donna Tartt’s novel The Secret History (1992).  \nThe Secret History Synopsis:  \nUnder the influence of their charismatic Classics professor\, a group of clever\, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality\, their lives are changed profoundly and forever\, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.  \nThe Fictional Classrooms Community Summer 2025 Schedule:  \nThe novel is nicely split into two books\, so we will meet twice on the following Mondays from 1:00-2:00pm EST via Zoom:  \n\nMonday\, June 16th – Book 1 of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History \n\n\nMonday\, August 18th – Book 2 of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History \n\nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Summer 2025:  \nPlease sign up as follows:  \n\nVisit https://groups.google.com/search?q=FictionalClassroomsED (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account) \n\n\nOn the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group \n\n\nMatthew and Robin will approve your request within 2 working days\, and you will then have access to the group\, including their shared Google Folder and Calendar.  \n\nNote from Matthew and Robin: We approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community.

SUMMARY:Taskmaster for Community Building
DESCRIPTION:Taskmaster for Community Building\nDate: Tuesday\, August 19th\, 2025 \nTime: 10:30-12:00pm (PT)* / 1:30-3:00pm (ET)* / 2:30-4:00pm (AT)* \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \nTaskmaster is a British comedy game show running since 2015\, but with foundations in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009 and 2011. The show sees five comedians engaged in a combination of pre-recorded and live weekly tasks\, facilitated by creator and Taskmaster assistant “little” Alex Horne\, and judged by the Taskmaster comedian Greg Davies. From individual to team tasks and from the simplest to the most absurd requests\, Taskmaster (and its related spin-offs and international versions) is a treasure trove of inspiration for community-building\, experiential learning\, and team-building activities. \nJoin the CTEI over three workshops as our educational developers and technologists challenge you to some tasks and facilitate reflections on conversations on how you can use game shows and reality television as great starting points for designing learning activities. \nEach workshop will explore three different activities\, and you are invited to attend all three workshops or just one or two! No knowledge of Taskmaster required (although all the episodes are free-to-watch on the #Taskmaster YouTube channel).  \nBy the end of each workshop\, we hope participants will: \n\nDiscover the value of problem-based/inquiry-based learning and active learning;\nExperience firsthand an active learning/inquiry-based activity; and\,\nBegin to design engaging learning activities based on their specific teaching context.\n\n*This session will be 90 minutes (60-minute interactive workshop + 30 minutes optional conversation and Q&A)

The current iteration brings together educational/curriculum/faculty/instructional developers and instructors from across Canada and the US to explore and reflect on narratives of education in films\, television\, short stories\, and novels. These works may speak to us as learners\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, artists\, and/or simply as humans.  \nFor Fall 2025\, the Fictional Classrooms community will be discussing:  \n\nCommunity S05E02 “Introduction to Teaching” (TV show) – September 22 \n\n\n“The Unknowable Pleasures” by Susie Yang (short story) – October 27 \n\n\nLegally Blonde (dir. Robert Luketic) (film) – November 24 \n\n\nAnd Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott (novel) – December 15 \n\nYou can read about all these selections (and previous selections) in our what to read/watch list.  \nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Summer 2025:  \nPlease sign up as follows:   \n\n Visit https://groups.google.com/search?q=FictionalClassroomsED (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account) \n On the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group.\n Matthew and Robin will approve your request within 2 working days\, and you will then have access to the group\, including their shared Google Folder and Calendar. \n\nNote from Matthew and Robin: We approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community.
