to Teaching in Higher Education
Winter
2007 cohort

IATHE would like to thank everyone who applied
for the opportunity to facilitate the upcoming
online course.
About the Facilitator
We are extremely pleased to announce that Dr.
Martin Wall will be facilitating the winter
2007 cohort. Dr. Martin Wall has recently joined
the faculty at University of Victoria, having
come from the University of Toronto where he
was former chair of the Department of Psychology,
a post he held for a decade, spanning the 90's.
While chair, he was the sole instructor of the
introductory course in Psychology, a course
of 2200 students. His interest in fostering
excellence in teaching led to his involvement
in establishing the University of Toronto’s
Teaching Assistant Training Program; developing
the university-wide graduate course, THE500,
Teaching in Higher Education; teaching a graduate
course on university teaching; teaching a similar
course to university faculty and presenting
annual workshops on various teaching matters
through the University of Toronto’s Office of
Teaching Advancement. He has been a recipient
of several teaching awards, including the University
of Toronto’s Joan E. Foley Quality of Student
Experience Award. More recently he was a recipient
of the 3M National Teaching Fellowship.
Course Overview
Introduction to Teaching in Higher Education:
Transforming Teaching, Learning and Self is
12-week course ($395.00 Canadian, plus GST)
designed to introduce participants (university
faculty, college instructors, sessional/adjunct
lecturers) to the philosophical and practical
aspects of teaching. The course is delivered
in a modular format. Each module comprises a
learning framework within which individual exercises,
online discussion, readings and video clips
of college and university educators (e.g., award-winning

to a broad range of relevant knowledge, skills,
and attitudes towards a lifelong approach to
teaching development.
