Supporting Excellence in Education

The Teaching & Learning Centre (TLC) provides opportunities for instructors to optimize student learning. A love of teaching keeps us all learning. 

Teaching & Learning Centre Service Desk

Visit the Teaching & Learning Centre Service Desk to connect with the TLC about requesting a Moodle course or playsite, training for Moodle or Kaltura, piloting a Moodle plug-in and more.

Learning Management System Support 

Visit Teach, an instance of the learning management system (LMS) Moodle, established just for instructors. Explore the Moodle Handbook and sign up for Moodle workshops, learn about new educational technology and find basic information on Selkirk Keep Teaching on topics such as course design, Indigenization, academic integrity, privacy and Universal Design for Learning.  

You’ll find a list of the TLC team there too!  

Make the Most of Educational Technology 

Create a playsite and explore our learning technology, such as our e-portfolio software—Pebble Pad—or academic writing software support—Grammarly. A playsite is a personal course shell on Teach where you can experiment with LMS plug-ins and try new approaches before introducing them to your students. You can see the playsites developed by your colleagues for ideas and inspiration and learn about your program’s unique templates.
