The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) brought together representatives from local MP and MPP offices, Industry Canada, the Council of Ontario Universities and UOIT faculty members and administrators back to class on February 15 to showcase the innovation in teaching and learning that is happening at the university.
The event, themed Learning Reinvented, included welcome remarks from Dr. McTiernan, and a presentation by Dr. Bill Muirhead, associate provost, Academic and Information Technology, who highlighted a number of ways the university applies its advanced learning technologies to enhance the teaching and learning experiences of its faculty and students.
Participants also enjoyed presentations from Dr. Carla Cesaroni, an associate professor with the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities and past UOIT Teaching Award recipient; Vernon Kee, a 2006 Bachelor of Education graduate and 2009 Premier’s Award – New Teacher category recipient, who explained how he utilizes the technology skills he obtained at UOIT and applies them in his own classroom; and Raquel Murray, Master of Science in Modelling and Computational Science candidate, whose undergraduate summer research experience opened doors to her future.
