Pedagogical Research: Improving Student Success and Studying Its Own Classroom Pedagogy

Pedagogical research (often called SoTL – The Scholarship of Teaching of Learning) is an important part of being a teaching stream faculty member at the Faculty of Information. In this crosstalk, professors Maher Elshakankiri and Olivier St-Cyr will highlight SoTL work they have conducted. Professor Maher Elshakankiri will present his research on how Flexible Deadlines and Timely Reminders Play Crucial Roles in Student Success and will discuss how these approaches can improve both the quality of submissions and student well-being based on recent research findings. Professor St-Cyr will present research on how teaching stream faculty members can study their own classroom pedagogy and discuss research on Monitoring the Short-Term Outcomes of Community-Engaged, Project-Based User Experience Design Courses.
