Throughout this course, I was exposed to the scholarship of teaching and learning in a deeper way that I ever had before. The Bibliography section contains some of the references I used to base my current teaching practice and also those that will be foundational for my development as a lecturer.
All of this happened during trying times brought on by a global pandemic which led to all teaching being moved online on short notice. I was lucky to have prior experience with online delivery and an interest in video/audio production and web design, all of which made my own transition a lot smoother than those of some less fortunate colleagues.
This portfolio provided the focus I needed to critically reflect on my past, current, and future practices. It was also a way to hone some of my skills with video editing (see My teaching philosophy) and open-access educational content (this website). I plan to use these technologies going forward, regardless of whether my teaching will remain online only, go back to fully in person, or a mix of both.
