Events: 4th May 2018

Once Upon a Pop-up

Rare Books and Special Collections at UBC Library is delighted to announce a new exhibition, located in the IKBLC Foyer: Once Upon a Pop-up!

The exhibition, curated by UBC Master of Library and Information Studies candidates Lucas Hill, Brooklyn Kemp, Sarah Khan, and Meaghan Smith, under the supervision of Professor Kathie Shoemaker, is a selection of pop-up books from RBSC’s children’s literature collection, ranging from the horror-filled to the historical, from the architectural to Alice in Wonderland.

Engaging Students as Partners in Teaching and Learning

Emerging research suggests that engaging students as partners in teaching and learning has the potential to enhance, and perhaps even transform, student learning—and teaching. This workshop, led by Celebrate Learning Week 2018 keynote speaker Peter Felten, will explore practical strategies from diverse disciplines for creating and sustaining student-faculty partnerships in teaching and learning.

Innovations in Learning Design: Choose Your Own Learning

This session will focus on three innovative learning projects: Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education, a massive open online course, Sky, Water, Earth, a collection of free, online, self-paced learner activities, and Mattermost, an open source and UBC-hosted tool that supports team-based chat. These projects will be introduced in 15 minute talks, with just as much time to hold group discussions about implications and possibilities for teaching practice.
