Overview
The Teaching Development Conference (TDC) at Queen’s is a signature event hosted each Fall by the Centre for Teaching and Learning. It is an opportunity for all educators to start the academic year with networking and professional development on innovations in teaching. This event is for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, and teaching staff from across disciplines to come together to learn and share ideas. The conference will explore strategies for creating flexible, inclusive and student-centred learning environments, whether we are teaching undergraduate, graduate, online, or on-campus courses. Sessions throughout the conference will share ideas for educators across all levels of experience.

We invite instructors teaching in a large lecture hall or auditorium classroom space to drop-in for an in-person orientation session if they want to become familiar with the classroom technology. This is an opportunity to test the technology and ask questions about how you might use it in your teaching. The session will be co-hosted by ITS and the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Please note that we will only be offering training in one of the auditorium classrooms, however we will be able to describe and demonstrate the standard classroom features that you will see in the other classrooms at Queen’s.

The session will be co-hosted by ITS and the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Please note that we will only be offering training in one of the high-tech active learning classrooms, however we will be able to describe and demonstrate the standard classroom features that you will see in the other active learning classrooms at Queen’s.
