The Centre for Teaching and Learning has made available to all professors and TAs the Epigeum Teaching Skills Modules.
These modules are four interactive multimedia courses:
marking, grading and giving feedback;
making the most out of discussions;
basic teaching skills; and
principles of course design.
Originally designed by a United Kingdom-based online learning company, these modules are available for all faculty and graduate students through Moodle on myconcordia.com.
They include easy-to-follow lessons on effective post-secondary teaching, bolstered by exercises, video interviews with award-winning professors and links to further resources. Epigeum provides multimedia courses to help faculty and graduate students further improve their skills.
On a personal note: after having completed these modules this past summer in preparation for future TA opportunities, I have to say that I found a ton of valuable information, especially in regards to how one should approach students and respond to their inquiries.
Make the most of your TA experience by completing these modules!
