• In Event: Gallery Walk Showcase
  In Showcase Session: Gallery 18 - Higher Education Faculty Practices and Motivations

Short Description

In response to Covid-19, the University of Toronto Mississauga successfully transitioned 64 of its undergraduate peer-led study group programs onto a virtual platform. As we return from homestay to in-person schooling, faculty and students who rely on these programs to support student engagement in high attrition courses are curious about: “which modalities of the new virtual FSG (VFSG) should remain and which will go”? We seek to make these decisions by examining “who benefits and who is left out?” Guided by principles of Universal Design rooted in inclusive education, this presentation shares evidence-based alternatives and innovation to reimagine and reinvent the future of Supplemental Instruction.
