LFS LC Lunch & Learn Series – Beyond Zoom – Experimenting with Synchronous Platforms
This session will be held on Friday, April 16 at noon
After a year of online synchronous sessions, some of you may be ready to mix things up and—good news!—there are so many technologies available to make this happen. We’re going to explore a couple of ways of spicing up your Zoom presentations and show you a couple of synchronous platforms that emulate more of an in-person “feel.“ Led by the Learning Centre’s Adrian Granchelli and Duncan McHugh, this session will be fun, explorative, and expand your imagination for what is possible with web conferencing.

Teaching Theory Thursday
“Conducting a review lesson or two before every exam will give students a better idea of what to expect on the test and make them more confident with that material. Reviewing topics frequently throughout the course will put less pressure on you and students in these major review lessons.”

B.C.’s newest ‘food hub’ opens in Cariboo region
Quesnel, B.C., is home to the latest addition to the province’s network of food hubs, where up-and-coming entrepreneurs can rent food processing and storage facilities and connect with others in the industry.
The Sprout Kitchen Food Hub opened in early April to individual food producers and startup restaurants across the Cariboo region, helping them sell their products to a wider market across northern B.C. Similar hubs — which are all part of the B.C. Food Hub Network — exist in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island to help innovate and market local food and beverage processing businesses.
Sprout Kitchen is funded by the city, the provincial government and the Northern Development Initiative Trust, a non-profit economic development agency based in Prince George. See full story from CBC News. |
