They’ve engaged undergrads by breaking ground in the development of Massive Open Online Courses, technology-enhanced learning, inverted classrooms and more.
 
And they've mentored and inspired students at every level, across faculties and divisions.
 
Vice-President and Provost Cheryl Regehr celebrated these pioneering educators at the second annual Excellence in Teaching reception on Nov. 3, welcoming recipients of diverse teaching awards from across the university’s disciplines.
 
“You find creative ways to transfer your passion for inquiry to the next generation of thinkers and problem solvers,” Regehr said. “You infuse our learning environment with energy and innovation that inspires your students and your colleagues. You exemplify the gift of outstanding teachers who help their students expand their horizons and discover new ways of thinking.”
