Critical Digital Pedagogy
Technology Integration
Sound pedagogical practices cannot be separated from integration of digital technologies into teaching. Talk to your CTL team about how you can implement digital tools to enrich the learning experience for participants in your courses. You may benefit from looking at the SAMR model of technology integration for starter ideas.

Moodle and Teams mechanics
Moodle
We provide and facilitate training for using Moodle as an asynchronous learning management system. This can take the form of one-on-one or small group sessions with the CTL team.
You can also watch recordings of previous training sessions in the spring of 2020.
Learning Spaces is a treasure trove of tutorials on specific Moodle features. There is a customized learning path for Aurora College. You can log into live office hours to ask questions and sign up for webinars.
Selected staff members have been provided with passwords to this training site hosted by Remote Learner, our Moodle service provider.
Please contact Jim if you need access to Learning Spaces.
Microsoft Teams
The CTL provides training for using Microsoft Teams as a video/audio conferencing platform as well as a course content management system. Teams has OneNote and SharePoint integration for seamless collaboration on group projects.
