Professional Development for Teaching

We offer multi-day workshops in the spring each year that provide instructors the opportunity to benefit from intensive teaching development.

Learning to Teach Online is a self-paced course where you’ll find the foundational building blocks in creating an engaging online learning experience.   As you move through these pieces, you will be able to build a plan for an online course, including weekly content and activity development worksheets.

With continuous enrollment through to August 28th, the flexible approach to facilitated delivery offers educators multiple opportunities to engage with each one of the six program modules in a way that meets their busy schedules and is free of charge.

The Professor Hippo-on-Campus: Student Mental Health Education Program for Educators and Navigators is a series of 8 online modules designed to assist educators and navigators to build knowledge and skills that will help them prevent, support and respond to student stress, distress and mental health issues among McMaster students.
