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
DESCRIPTION:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice – August 2025 Meeting\nDate: Monday\, August 18th\, 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: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)
