A unique one-year Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) accredited, non-degree certificate program, inquire is designed for graduate students and instructors looking to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). The inquire certificate includes face-to-face sessions and online course delivery, providing participants studying from a distance with the flexibility to conduct their own disciplinary studies while simultaneously enhancing their abilities in the scholarship of teaching and learning. A blended learning, inquiry-based program, the inquire certificate can be achieved by completing the following three successive courses: Foundations and Frameworks in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Conducting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Communicating Findings in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Program participants can expect to ethically and collaboratively identify, investigate, and answer a question related to teaching and learning. The inquire non-degree program certificate will use an inquiry-based learning approach to enable students to develop and apply pedagogical knowledge and skills by collaboratively researching a self-identified question related to teaching and learning. Two mandatory face-to-face sessions occur throughout the certificate. The first face-to-face session is a four-day Action Institute running at the beginning of the first course (May 5-8, 2015). The second face-to-face session occurs at the end of the certificate during the 2016 Teaching and Learning Innovations Conference at the University of Guelph. All other components of the certificate will be offered online.

The 13th annual learning conference explores how we can design, assess, and facilitate learning that engages every learner, allowing each student to build their own knowledge and contribute their own strengths to their learning and the learning of their classmates and instructors. Together, we'll explore questions that reach through and beyond content and pedagogical content knowledge, like How can one instructor engage every student in a large class? How do instructors recognize and celebrate their students' diversity without risking microaggressions? What can instructors do before, during, and after class, face-to-face and online, to support each student? How does an instructor create and maintain an environment where every student feels welcome to contribute? What critical pedagogies empower each student's unique voice? What technologies enhance a student's ability to engage and contribute? What are the promising practices in your discipline? Can they be adapted to other disciplines? Keynote address by Dr.Sarah L.Eddy, "End of Lecture?  Active learning increases student achievement".
