Instructional and Technical Support Student Assistants

As part of the Provost's funded summer 2020 co-op initiative, the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics (LANG) has hired ten co-op students as Instructional and Technical Support Student Assistants. Known as “BComm-ing the Specialists”, they are available to support instructors in their fall 2020 course preparations and have completed training from the Experiential Learning Hub, OpenEd, and the Office of Teaching and Learning.

The primary themes where support can be provided are focused around the CourseLink learning management system, video editing and production, and developing creative assets to use in your F20 course(s).

Teaching and Learning Webinar Series

To support all instructors with their personal ongoing teaching and learning development, the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences (CSAHS) Hub for Teaching and Learning Excellence (“The Hub”), in collaboration with the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics (LANG) Teaching and Learning Advisory Board, are hosting a series of teaching and learning professional development workshops.

To provide support and resources to instructors to help them in deciding what approaches are best for their individual courses, we have developed a webinar series that is pedagogically-focused, evidence-informed, and based on best practices. Recordings are available of past sessions, as well as supporting resources referred to in the recordings.
