Examples of Institutional InitiativesUndergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP): UROP provides undergraduate students with unique and exciting opportunities to explore cutting-edge research at the University of Ottawa while they define their professional goals. By participating in UROP, a student receives a $1,000 award and devotes, during one academic year, at least 50 hours to the research project conducted by the faculty sponsor they have chosen. Each faculty sponsor receives $500 in research funds to support their involvement in the program. • Learning management system (LMS): The University of Ottawa is adopting a LMS. Created for the digital learner, the cloud-based platform runs on mobile devices and offers rich multimedia support to increase engagement and improve productivity and knowledge retention. The platform makes it easy to design courses, create content and grade assignments, giving instructors more time to focus on improved teaching and learning. At the same time, analytics enable tracking of outcomes and deliver insights into the performance levels of departments, courses, or individuals. • Learning Outcome mapping: The uoSyllabus tool brings together the best practices in course design currently available in university teaching. The tool also offers a range of teaching strategies and evaluation methods that encourage professors to examine the learning activities best suited to the learning outcomes for their courses. Since uoSyllabus can include learning outcomes for program curriculum, coherence analyses can be conducted either for self-evaluation or accreditation purposes.
