Community of Practice for ELearning

This community is for instructors at UBC Okanagan who are interested in a scholarly approach to using technology enhanced teaching and learning strategies aimed at increasing student engagement.

Connecting eLearning to the UBC Okanagan Strategic Action Plan 2010:
The second section of the Plan reaffirms UBC Okanagan's committment to student engagement and experience. Underpinning the student experience at UBC Okanagan are two Core Foundations:
1. Advancing knowledge and transformative learning, and
2. Community engagement.

The Centre for Teaching and Learning at UBC Okanagan currently has many programs in place that address the delivery of the four Priority Themes and we are constantly working to create new programs and strategies to aid in the successful delivery and representation of these themes.

Evidence supports effective learning environments as being student centered and technology can provide increased opportunities for authentic learning tasks, knowledge construction, formative assessment and community engagement.
