Lecturer Leanne Roderick receives Teaching and Learning Development Grant

Leanne Roderick was awarded a Teaching and Learning Development Grant (TLDG) from SFU's Institute for the Study of Teaching and Learning (ISTLD) for the project: "Who Cares? Student-Instructor Relationalities in Remote Learning Through an Ethic of Care Pedagogy".  Using key literature on an ethic of care, Dr. Roderick will design a set of course policies, communications, and practices to implement in GEOG100, Introduction to Human Geography, a large undergraduate online course. Student focus group interviews and anonymous course surveys will measure the impact of these course practices, communications, and policies on student motivation, meaning, and engagement. Research findings will be shared with the SFU teaching and learning community.
