Teaching and Learning Centre
Digital pedagogy is about knowing when to use technology for learning and how to incorporate digital tools to enhance discovery and problem-solving, engage learners, and improve the learning experience. Digital tools can include open educational resources such as e-books, response systems, learning management systems, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), visual tools, and video or digital storytelling.
There is no shortage of tools to support pedagogical practice, but choosing the best one can quickly become an overwhelming task. To help you with the selection process, we've put together a list of what we consider to be the best tools and apps. These tools may be used for content delivery and creation, student engagement, communication, and assessments in an online, blended, or in-class setting.
Click on one of the categories below to browse the full alphabetized list or to find a tool based on teaching outcome, type of support, or popularity.
This compilation of resources is meant to help you understand the ethical implications of using digital tools and the educational opportunities that can be achieved through their use. Knowing how to use PowerPoint is vastly different than knowing how to effectively communicate using PowerPoint.
The Hyflex Learning Model
The Teaching and Learning Centre has been an incredible source of support. From my first encounters with getting help to create online videos for blended and online learning to my most recent requests for increasing whiteboard space around classrooms to foster collaboration, the TLC has always been welcoming and supportive of my ideas. I have always felt comfortable asking whether something is possible or not, and more often than not, the TLC team offers me a variety of solutions and options.
