CTAP – Connecting Technology and Pedagogy in Higher Education: Access, Collaboration and Engagement (Drinkwater, 2018-2020)

A University of Toronto Instructional Technology & Innovation Fund (ITIF) 2-yr Project

Lead: Mary Drinkwater (PhD-OISE, LHAE)

ABOUT:  The CTAP Model was created by Dr. Mary Drinkwater, based on her 9 years of teaching and course development in synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, at OISE & in cross-institutional courses internationally, using a variety of different educational technology instructional and assessment platforms.  Skills and principles can be easily transferred to other and newly emerging platforms!

The goal of the CTAP project is to pilot, assess and refine a set of principles and strategies (Drinkwater, 2017) to support the development of accessible, collaborative and engaging online or blended graduate-level learning environments, including pilot testing an online virtual teaching and learning tool, Zoom for Education.

CTAP Core Team:  Coleen Scully-Stewart (LHAE); Sherida Ryan (LHAE); Derek Hunt (EC); Neil Tinker (EC); Tamara Bahr (ACT); Rubaina Khan (PhD candidate; GA); Yufei Zheng (MEd candidate; GA).
