TA/GA Workshops
The LTO is pleased to offer a TA/GA learning and teaching workshop series that covers many aspects of professional development in teaching. The majority of these workshops are offered during the fall and winter semesters. These workshops are open to all TAs, GAs and interested graduate students from Ryerson University.
Open Door Program
The Open Door Program allows any interested faculty member to visit the classrooms of our teaching award recipients. This is a great opportunity to learn some teaching techniques from award winning faculty by observing them in action
English Language Support
This program will allow faculty whose first language is not English to improve their pronunciation skills needed to effectively teach, acquire the necessary English writing skills to effectively provide student feedback, as well as enhance English writing skills for academic purposes.
Upcoming Events
Assessment and Grading
On October 8th, the LTO will be hosting a workshop on assessment and grading. Student assessment must consider the objectives of the course, academic integrity, student diversity, information literacy, and the learning level of the students. While instructors regularly create assessments, they often find it difficult to create unique assessments that meet their course objectives. In this workshop participants will examine how to create assessments that meet course objectives and demonstrate student learning.

Student Engagement and Interaction Online: Tips, Strategies, and Tools
On October 11th, the quality of online courses is rooted in the effective and frequent interactions of students with faculty, students with peers, and students with content. Communication is therefore key in enhancing students’ engagement and success in online courses. In this workshop, we will explore effective teaching strategies through the use of discussion boards and web-based collaboration tools.
This workshop is part of BOL101: Learn the Basics of Online Teaching and Learning
