- DALITE
DALITE is a tool designed in collaboration with the CIPhER research team. It is a web-bases learning platform that provides students with an asynchronous version of peer instruction. - SSHRC Grant (YEAR-AR)
Co-applicant in a multi-institutional, inter-provincial, team of researchers, practitioners and corporate partners to investigates and promotes the use of evidence-based pedagogies and how best to leverage the affordances of educational technologies to support collaborative learning in the SSHRC-CCSIF funding project: Leveraging new paradigms and disruptive technologies to successfully orchestrate pedagogical change. (SSHRC – Social Science & Humanities Research Council) - Implementation of Active Learning Strategies
Strategies include: Flipped Classroom, Peer Instruction, Conceptual maps, and the use of student-generated videos.
