I am excited to share the registration link for the Borealis Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning. The 2020 theme is "Moving Online - Managing the Transition to Remote Course Delivery". This is an event hosted jointly by the four Northern Ontario universities (Algoma University, Lakehead University, Laurentian University, and Nipissing University).

The Borealis Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning will take place 9 am - 5 pm on both Wednesday, August 5th and Thursday, August 6th. All sessions will run as plenaries, so there is no fear of missing something happening concurrently. Sessions will be recorded so as to create a resource for future events.

Session topics include:
*Cultural Intelligence and the implications for online teaching to diverse students
*Reaching Indigenous Learners
*Teaching First-Year classes online
*Experiential Learning online
*How to Engage Online Learners in Authentic Assessment**
*And more...

These will be run as workshops, presentations, panels and round tables. Speakers come from the four host institutions as well external to the group. A finalized agenda will be circulated within the next few days.

In this session, participants will explore the use of Zoom for teaching and learner engagement. Zoom models and best practices for designing and delivering synchronous online learning will be discussed.

On Thursday, August 13th from 10:00 am - 12 noon, Steve and Dwayne will be offering a follow-up online workshop specifically to provide hands-on work with those interested in implementing peerScholar in their Fall course offerings. Come to the workshop with some rough ideas about the activity or activities you have in mind, and Steve and Dwayne will show you how to bring those ideas to life.

If you wish, you can all try building your own activities along with them, asking any questions you have along the way. By the end of the session, you should have a clear sense of the range of learning experience peerScholar can support, and the way to make it do what you imagine.
