Winter 2015 Sandbox Times
From time to time, Sandboxes will feature special topics workshops. In the first 20 minutes, members of the TSC, ITRC, or a special guest will lead a workshop on the topic of the week. Participants can then spend the remainder of the time exploring ways to use the space and technology actively in their teaching.
Beginning in February, all other Sandbox times will be shifting from drop-in sessions to bookable time slots. Time slots may be booked by:
- Instructors teaching in WALS who would like to experiment in the space with pedagogical/technological support from a member of the TSC/ITRC
- Instructors interested in teaching in WALS and other members of the university community who would like to explore the space
Sandbox times are available each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm and Fridays from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm throughout the Winter term. To book a Sandbox time, email wals@uwo.ca. Remember to bring your own Mac or PC laptop, smartphone, or tablet to “plug in” and explore the space!
