At Seneca's Teaching & Learning Centre, we offer many courses and services to help improve the way we teach and learn both in the classroom and online. This term, one of our faculty PD courses is returning and we want to share those with you!

This Winter welcomes back Developing Online Materials for Your Course (DOMYC), a course focused on supporting faculty teaching online and hybrid or flexible (hyflex) courses to learn new tools and create new and varied materials for their courses.

Producing more digital materials for a course can be quite involved; fortunately in this 4-week course, we cover a variety of tools that are both easy to learn and can quickly produce new dynamic course materials for you.

DOMYC covers a broad variety of software tools – from web module design to producing narrated recorded videos. We also take a look at some more in-depth tools such as building and dynamic interactive video with H5P.

By using these tools and creating more dynamic and varied materials for our online courses, we can help increase student engagement and retention. Many of the tools covered in the course also make fantastic tools for multi-modal student assignments, letting them collaborate and get creative to showcase their understanding.

This course gives faculty a chance to work hands-on with new digital tools, as well as providing guided support and further resources to help you in creating your course content even after the course has ended.

This term, DOMYC is being offered on the following dates: Jan 31st to Feb 21st, Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.

You can register for DOMYC in MyPD.
