Articles in the Winter 2017 Academic Newsletter:

    It has been just over three months since I arrived back at Seneca. I have to say, there are days when it feels as if I never left and others when it feels like everything is new.

  • The Art & Science of Facilitation

    Facilitation is all about helping others learn, which is at the heart of education. So what are the key components of effective facilitation?

  • Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

    Most people are familiar with the concept of universal design when talking about features in buildings. Following UDL principles and guidelines helps to minimize or remove barriers and maximize learning, providing everyone with an equal opportunity to learn.

  • Spotlight on: Assessment

    Here are a few links about assessment.

  • From the Registrar

    Aside from me, there are also exceptional Registration managers located at each of the main campuses and designated staff supports at the smaller campuses to help with all those burning administrative questions like, “How can I see my timetable?”, “Where do I pay my fees?”, “How do I apply for OSAP”, or “Do I qualify for free tuition?”
