Teaching and Learning Services (TLS)

TLS has developed a series of workshops on remote teaching for all of 捆绑SM社区. They are aiming to have all instructors minimally attend the first two sessions. As such, we have arranged to have these two sessions tailored to our needs. The first of the series entitled 鈥淧lanning for Remote Delivery 2.0 for Fall 2020鈥 was presented as part of ISoN FacDev on June 5, 2020. The second workshop entitled 鈥淒esigning Assessment for Remote Delivery for Fall 2020鈥 was presented at ISoN FacDev on June 12, 2020. Links听to the recorded sessions can be found at the top of the page. The slide handouts can be found under the section 'Useful links and information'.

Online Education Initiatives and Continuing Nursing Education Office

Part of the mandate of the Online Education Initiatives & Continuing Nursing Education (OEI & CNE) Office is to develop and deliver online university-level full academic programs in nursing. The first initiative undertaken by this office is the BNI Online program, set to launch in September 2021. Working closely with their TLS partners, they have acquired knowledge and experience in the development of online education. The OEI & CNE Office is happy to provide assistance through individual or group consultations, or can attend TLS sessions with you, or share any pertinent resources with you, all in the scope of helping you get things done in a timely manner.

Simply email Kate Logue, Curriculum Designer ( katherine.logue [at] mcgill.ca ) or Annie Chevrier, Office Director, at: annie.chevrier2 [at] mcgill.ca, to ask your questions, or book a consultation.

ISoN Technology Committee (TechCom)

Mandated to 鈥減lan and support technology uptake among faculty, staff and students 鈥 to support excellence in teaching, learning research and administration鈥,鈥 the TechCom has been on many ISoN members鈥 radar since mid-March. Always willing to share resources and information about remote teaching, they are available for one-on-one consultations related to technology use in remote teaching.

To book a consultation, email katherine.logue [at] mcgill.ca or amanda.cervantes [at] mcgill.ca.

ISoN Administrative Support

The Academic Programs Office (APO) continues to provide assistance to faculty needing support with myCourses. To increase the amount of support the Course Secretary provides this summer and fall, additional administrative staff will be trained in myCourses. All requests should be directed via email at: coursesec.nursing [at] mcgill.ca.

To optimally use these administrative supports, faculty should prioritize tasks that are time-consuming, and that administrative staff can complete. Examples include:

  • Making quizzes听in myCourses
  • Rendering videos and uploading onto myCourses (once faculty have completed the narration in PowerPoint)
  • Setting up gradebooks
  • Setting up discussions

This list of examples is not exhaustive.
