Preparing for Experiential Learning
These Experiential Learning modules were developed by the Office of the Vice-Provost, Innovations in Undergraduate Education (OVPIUE) in consultation with the first-entry undergraduate divisions. These modules are designed to support students as they consider how to approach experiential learning environments, to help them set goals for their time engaging in experiential learning spaces and to assist them in reflecting on their experiences. These modules are intended to support students engaging in various forms of experiential learning activities including curricular and co-curricular opportunities. These Community-Engaged Learning modules were developed by the Office of the Vice-Provost, Innovations in Undergraduate Education (OVPIUE) in consultation with the Centre for Community Partnerships (CCP) and the first-entry undergraduate divisions. These modules are focused on Community-Engaged Learning. The first module is designed to support students in understanding the key features of community-engaged learning and reflect on their goals for their CEL experiences. The second module helps students develop strategies to maximize their learning in CEL opportunities. These Work Study modules were developed by Career Exploration & Education. Across the University of Toronto, over 3,500 students participate in the Work Study Program every year. Twice a year (fall-winter and summer), the Work Study Program offers paid, on-campus positions that provide you with an opportunity to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your skills and explore how your academic studies translate to career possibilities. All Work Study positions are CCR recognized (see the CCR website to learn more). To help students make the most of their Work Study position, we have developed three e-modules. For each e-module students can save a PDF of their responses; we encourage students to review their responses with their Work Study supervisor. This series of Intellectual Property Modules for students and instructors has been created by U of T Digital Learning Innovation (DLI), Office of the Vice-Provost, Innovations in Undergraduate Education (VPIUE) and U of T Entrepreneurship (UTE). The goal of these modules is to provide education and practical resources, relevant to targeted students and faculty engaged in course and co-curricular activities that have IP implications. These modules can be used in-person or online, and faculty and instructors can supplement the slides with sample case studies and documents.Research Readiness: Pharmacology and Toxicology; Biochemistry and Physiology
These modules were developed by the Departments of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Biochemistry and Physiology, University of Toronto. These modules are designed to help students prepare for independent research project courses and similar opportunities by learning about research teams, project management and attributes of a successful scientist. In addition, they can support students as they start to get ready for careers in research and related fields by exploring how scientific discoveries are developed into new products and services. Students can also leverage these modules to learn about drug development, good laboratory, clinical and manufacturing practices and commercialization.Professionalism in the Workplace
These modules were developed by the University of Toronto Mississauga Career Centre. These modules are designed to assist students in developing skills and knowledge regarding Professionalism in the Workplace. While technical skills are key to being successful on the job, it is also important to understand how to navigate the workplace; work well with colleagues and a supervisor; and to develop an understanding of the advantages of an accessible and diverse workplace. With each module, participants can save their responses for further reflection and discussion.
