Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW)

Instructional Skills Workshops (ISW)

Widely recognized around the world as a model for peer-based instructional development, the ISW is designed to strengthen instructors’ skills through intensive and practical exercises in learning-centred teaching. A handbook of resources is provided to augment the workshop.

After successfully completing the 3 day workshop (24 hours), participants receive a certificate of completion recognized by many Canadian and international institutions. Participants also benefit from joining a network of colleagues who are committed to self-discovery and continual improvement of teaching and learning.

ISW graduates may train to become ISW facilitators by taking the 5 day Facilitator Development Workshop (FDW), and becoming part of a team responsible for delivering and supporting the ISW and related activities at their institution or organization.

These ISWs are online, mostly synchronous, and loaded with fun, interactive techniques to engage learning. The focus is on the teaching and learning process. Mixing opportunities for small and larger group interaction, the ISW engages participants in:
