In this episode, Kerry Black, assistant professor in the Schulich School of Engineering, shares with us her insights into how she has adjusted her courses and learning materials through teaching during the pandemic. She talks about how she has gauged student expectations as well as her own expectations during online learning, and the value of planning ahead to prepare all information for students at the start of the course. She stresses the importance of being empathetic to students and thinking about the barriers that they may face during online learning while providing meaningful and challenging learning experiences. She discusses how she has shifted her assessment practices to be more frequent, low-stakes and qualitative, writing assessments. She illustrated how this shift has allowed her to weave in some of the additional attributes that are needed for graduates such as communication, lifelong learning and the connection to the environment, economic and social factors of engineering through e-portfolios and reflective writing.
