TA Training: List of Online Workshops

Here are a number of workshops put on by various groups here at the U. Look through the lists below and see which are most likely to be relevant to your TAs duties. There are many workshops — the department recommends you select two or three to participate in, although you are welcome to participate in more if you wish.

Here are links to training and events sites for different University groups:

• CEI: CEI (the Center for Educational Innovation) has short workshops and other training on a variety of topics. Some workshops are on general teaching and learning issues, but many also involve use of a particular tool. See also the page of recorded sessions.
   
• OIT: The U’s Office of Information Technology has various training resources focusing on online tools. Some are “getting started” materials, e.g., on using Zoom or Canvas. Some are more detailed or advanced, or involve not only use of the tool, but related pedagogical issues.
   
• ATSS: The OIT’s Academic Technology Support Services groups has its own Course Re/design and Development page listing various technology-related workshops and other resources. (This site is more focused on certain tools and concerns than the wider-ranging OIT site in the past item.) Also see the ATSS Resources page.
   
• Center for Writing: The U’s Center for Writing has both workshops and other online resources to help with any type of writing in courses.
   
• U Teaching Support Events and Newsletters page. This page lists, on a single page, upcoming events from CEI, OIT, etc. (as well as perhaps some other University offices).
