[BCTLC] Update from Douglas College
by BC Teaching and Learning Council 31 Jul '25

31 Jul '25

Hello everyone. I wanted to give everyone an update on what is happening here at Douglas College. As I have mentioned many times in the past, Douglas College does not have an official teaching and learning centre. Instead, myself along with others including Tim Paul put together a group that has taken on some of this role under the title of the Douglas Educational Support Community (DESC) since April 2020. DESC has only ever met online since we don't have a physical space at the school. Most of what happens is off the side of our desks. Over the past year, we have had discussions with the Director of Learning Services, Trish Rosseel, about pulling together some different areas, including DESC, and placing them within the Douglas College Library. This would not only give us a physical space to use, but would also formally bring together multiple partners into one group. After much discussion and planning, it is finally happening! I would like to introduce you to the Douglas College Teaching and Research Commons (TREC). This is the logical next step towards creating our own teaching and learning centre. Here is the vision statement we put together when we proposed this to the VPA and the Deans: The Teaching and Research Commons (TREC) aims to create an open, visible, and centrally located physical space that brings together a range of employees from Academic Technology Services (ATS), Douglas Educational Support Community (DESC), Learning Resources (LR), and the Research and Innovation Office (RIO) to leverage their collective expertise in support of Douglas College faculty. We are still in the preparation stage, but we will be launching in September with an open house for faculty on September 10th. We still don't have any additional funding for this, but the hope is to use this as a pilot project which will eventually lead to something more permanent. I am also thinking that Trish Rosseel would be added to this group. She would likely be the main point of contact for TREC. Brett and Ken: Can you add Trish? rosseelt(a)douglascollege.ca Thank you.

[BCTLC] Join Me in the Trust Group - Call for Collaborative SoTL Literature Review participants
by BC Teaching and Learning Council 21 Jul '25

21 Jul '25

Good morning, colleagues. See below a call for expressions of interest in several literature review groups. I will be facilitating the last one on trust. I do hope some of you will join me. I will most likely be running it virtually as travel budgets do not exist right now at my institution. Although I'd love to meet in Banff. I've also asked if I could break the virtual retreat into smaller pieces. Hope to see some of your applications. Theresa Southam, PhD Department Head, Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) Selkirk College, West Kootenay & Boundary Region t: 250-354-1088 or 1.866.301.6601<tel:18663016601>; ext. 11384 | e: tsoutham(a)selkirk.ca or webpage<https://selkirk.ca/about-selkirk/teaching-learning-centre> Together we build remarkable futures Selkirk College acknowledges the traditional territories of the Sinixt (Lakes), the Syilx (Okanagan), the Ktunaxa, and the Secwépemc (Shuswap) peoples.

Consider contributing to a collaborative literature review project! This initiative is modeled after the Collaborative Writing Groups of ISSoTL<https://issotl.com/icwg/> and SoTL Canada<https://www.stlhe.ca/scholarship-of-teaching-and-learning-sotl-canada/initi…>, and is partially funded by a SoLE grant<https://www.stlhe.ca/grants/sole-grants/> from the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. The goals are to contribute to teaching and learning literature, support SoTL practice, and build community and capacity. As Chick et al. (2019) wrote, “SoTL needs the meta-level attention of literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, research agendas, even historiography, to help us understand and navigate the field and advance the work itself” (p. 187). To this list, we add scoping reviews and realist syntheses. Interested Participants: Those interested in participating in a group should be able to attend the October 17-18 writing retreat, either in person or virtually (see more details below). Please email your expression of interest to jmilleryoung(a)ualberta.ca<mailto:jmilleryoung@ualberta.ca> by August 15. Please also share this call with your own networks if you think they would be interested!
