Information for professors

Thank you for your interest in this module! Here are some tips when integrating the module into a course.

Customizing the module for your own use

We have a detailed set of instructions you can use, with the general principles being:

  1. Copy this eBook to create your own version. Not in Ontario? You can use another version of the module ([XML]). Note: to clone a book in Pressbooks, you need to have created your own Pressbooks book first, even just a blank one.
  2. Create a copy of each activity.
  3. Customize the activities to suit your course (e.g., the expected learning outcomes should be specific to your course). Places to be modified are indicated with square brackets.
  4. Add each activity link to the relevant section of this eBook so that students can access each activity.
  5. Add the instructions, module weighting, and deadlines to your syllabus.

Valuing the module in the course

  1. We suggest giving a percentage of the final grade to the module. Historically, the achievement rate is good if at least a small bonus is given (e.g. 2%). We recommend that the module be evaluated on the basis of completion and not on the responses or grade obtained in the activities.
  2. Add questions about the module to your assessments in the course, but do not ask personal questions. This demonstrates the importance you place on long-term student learning.
  3. Discuss the module and results in your course (anonymously) and give your recommendations. In the other courses, students were very curious about the responses and strategies of their peers, and the discussions were very lively.
  4. Invite a student who has already used the module in your class to share their experiences.

Versions of the module

We have two versions of the module, each available in French and English:

Version 1: To be integrated in the courses (FR, EN). This is the ideal version to meet students where they are, at the time of their learning, with an application that is important to them (the course and their program).

Version 2: Independent (FR, EN). This version can be used in any context, such as a course where the teacher has not integrated the module, a larger program, sports, music, etc.
