Internationalization of teaching and learning is the infusion of global intercultural or international elements into curricular learning outcomes, content and learning resources, learning activities, and assessment tasks (including feedback) with the intent of developing different ways of knowing and learning, intercultural awareness, or intercultural competence in students.
Are you looking for help to explicitly plan for and deliver increased equity, appreciation of difference and diversity, and inclusion within your learning experiences? Connect with our staff who can help you explore and select the instructional and assessment processes necessary to meet your needs and those of your students.
At USask, our approach is to gather information about our students’ academic performance as well as demographic and activity data that could pertain to learning success. In line with our institution's Learning Charter commitments, this data will be used to connect students with appropriate academic supports and services, to personalize their learning experience, and to improve our academic programs.
Learning Analytics work is conducted under the leadership of the Office of the Vice-Provost Teaching, Learning and Student Experience in partnership with Information and Communications Technology, Student and Enrolment Services, and the Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning.
To learn more, please connect with one of our staff members listed below.
Open educational practices (OEP) are more than just open educational resources (OER) such as textbooks, slides, modules, and other freely sharable and adaptable learning materials. OEP also includes open pedagogy (students creating and sharing content instead of simply consuming it), open research and open access publishing, and open teaching (sharing with others your reflections and lessons on teaching). Contact our staff if you are interested in finding out more about any aspect of OEP and how to begin integrating them into your teaching and learning.
