Tech Tip Tuesday: Planning your return to in-person teaching
With the university returning to in-person instruction in two weeks, it’s a good time to re-visit your classroom tech setup. Additionally, we suggest that you check in with your students to see how your lecture delivery plan will meet their pedagogical needs. The Learning Centre is available to help you figure out your AV setup and lecture delivery approach.
If you plan on recording or streaming your classes on Zoom while teaching in-person, make sure to check out the recommended basic AV setup here. Lapel microphones are available at the Learning Centre for instructors to borrow for the term.
Some classrooms come equipped with Panopto, UBC IT’s automated lecture capture technology, which allows one-way streaming and recording of your lectures. The list of classrooms equipped with this technology is listed here.
For more information, please contact the LFS Learning Centre at it@landfood.ubc.ca |

Jan. 30 – USI Sustainability Scholars Program and CSFS
The USI Sustainability Scholars Program is accepting applications from graduate students for summer 2022. The Centre for Sustainable Food Systems (CSFS) currently has a project in the program, which involves working with Indigenous knowledge keepers. The project aims to support Indigenous terrestrial foodlands in the Fraser River Estuary by identifying and mapping Indigenous traditional terrestrial foodlands in the estuary; developing shoreline conservation and restoration strategies to steward and retain traditional foodlands in response to climate change-related impacts in the region; and considering a policy framework to support Indigenous food sovereignty and foodlands retention.
Applications close at midnight on Sunday January 30, 2022.
The CSFS project through the USI Sustainability Scholars Program is 2022-042. To view all the projects and to apply, visit: https://sustain.ubc.ca/teaching-applied-learning/sustainability-scholars-program/apply |
