EdMedia Protege Program

Do you want to enhance your ability to use educational media in your classroom?

On April 2 the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) will launch a program to support faculty who are interested in being better media creators. This program will also help faculty embed media in the educational context in ways that enhance the learner/ing experience, and distribute media in ways that work for both faculty and learner.

What you gain by participating

By participating in the EdMedia Protege Program (EMP), you will improve the multi-modal support that you provide for your students' learning experience. The program starts in April with a series of short workshops in which you will investigate various aspects of media in an educational context. Throughout May and June, the TLC's EdMedia team will work with you one-on-one to develop educational media and embed them effectively into your course.
