The Teaching & Learning Centre supports faculty members and instructors in enhancing the academic experience. We offer workshops, courses, online modules, links to resources, and one-on-one consultations about teaching, including course and assessment design, lesson planning, active learning strategies, student engagement, and integrating technology tools into education.

Seneca’s Teaching & Learning Centre Team is comprised of faculty members, instructional designers, project managers, eLearning designers, a multi-media specialist, and administrators. We work together to support faculty and instructors across the college.

We have reopened at Newnham Campus! Drop by Room A2508 to ask questions, share teaching resources and meet the team.

Please note that our hours are Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST.

To learn more about the members of our team, visit our updated About Us webpage. There you’ll find team photos and you’ll learn about the areas of expertise of each team member.

For general inquiries related to teaching and learning, you can email the entire team at teaching@senecacollege.ca.

We hope to see you in the Teaching & Learning Centre soon!
