Together in this (approximately) 5-hour course on fostering learning online we will look to identify ways of bridging your face-to-face teaching practices to an online learning environment. Critical elements of effective teaching (motivation, communication, and administration) don’t change when you relocate to a virtual classroom environment. The approaches we use to include them DO. This course will help you develop techniques that will protect these elements when you shift to your online classroom.

This is a short course, which will span 1 week. It is recommended that you allocate approximately 1-hour a day to engage in asynchronous activities. There will be a 1 hour (approximately) live meet-up on the final day.

Registration is limited to 12 participants and is for Lakehead University faculty and teaching staff. This course runs from August 24 - 28th. Additional details will be provided to registrants prior to August 24th.

Thank you

It is with great pleasure that we invite all staff and faculty to join us in this year’s Orientation as we extend a warm Lakehead welcome to our incoming students! The Orientation and Transition Steering Committee and Working Groups have been working hard to generate excitement for Fall 2020 incoming students.

Orientation builds excitement, encourages student enrolment, and welcomes our diverse students in their transition to Lakehead.

We are hoping for your participation in a social media campaign to encourage students to ask staff and faculty for help. Asking for assistance is harder for students studying virtually. You are therefore invited to take part in this campaign by posing for a photo with your complimentary Ask Me Orientation lanyard. Please wear a mask and maintain a safe social distance from others while visiting campus.

Thunder Bay:

You can pick-up your lanyard and have your photo taken on August 19 between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm outside the Chancellor Paterson Library. Those with last names beginning with the letter A-G are welcome from 10:00-11:00, H-Q from 11:00-12:00 and R-Z from 12:00-1:00.

If you prefer to send in your own photo, collect your lanyard from your car by pulling up to the end of the walkway between the CASES building and Regional Centre between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm on August 19, or on another date from the on-campus Mailroom. Send photos to ssc@lakeheadu.ca for inclusion in the campaign.

If you need alternative arrangements, please email orientation@lakeheadu.ca.
