Designed for educators across the University of Toronto, this full-day event features some of the University's leaders in educational technology. Our goal is that you will leave this workshop with a better understanding of innovations in teaching technology, best practices and the University's technology initiatives.


The University of Toronto is at the forefront of new technologies designed to enhance students' learning inside and outside the lecture hall. From online teaching and video lecture capture to audience response tracking, the Educational Technology Workshop will showcase leading applications and best practices for innovating teaching and learning. This full-day event is an excellent opportunity for educators from across the University of Toronto to learn about educational technology.

In the morning, hear from multidisciplinary professors on innovations in the area of teaching and learning technology. In the afternoon, browse and interact with vendors of instructional technology. This is also a great opportunity to learn about resources available at the University of Toronto.

We look forward to seeing you on May 5.
