Introducing Teaching and Learning Stories from the Field | Academic Newsletter | Seneca Polytechnic

A new podcast series from Seneca’s Teaching and Learning Centre

by Arushi Manners and Jennifer Peters, the Teaching & Learning Centre

in the March 2021 issue

Working in Seneca's Teaching & Learning Centre, we hear many stories every day about unique teaching and learning strategies across the college, and we want to share those with you! In the Teaching and Learning Stories from the Field podcast (Teaching and Learning Stories from the Field), faculty share their stories about the amazing things they are doing with their students.

Our first episode hears Tom Bartsiokas and Tricia Hylton (both from the School of English and Liberal Studies) tell the story of the open text adaptation for EAC594, which has saved students upwards of $400,000, all while creating custom course materials, strengthening our commitment to accessible course resources, and ensuring day one access for all students.
