Teaching Toolkit
At IST we know that instruction and assessment methods across our university are diverse and a complex endeavour for each instructor. This endeavour follows a relatively consistent set of activities from course planning to design and preparation, delivery of content and instructional activities, formative and summative assessments of students and outcomes, gathering feedback from students to help improve instruction and inform curriculum along with all the course management activities throughout the lifecycle of the course. In each of these activities, technology plays an important and enabling role. Our goal is to provide instructors with a set of centrally supported tools, services and resources that help support and transform teaching, learning and assessment at the University of Alberta.
