Strategic research and impact assessment
Initiatives implemented
To ensure that stakeholders' voices are heard and to improve the teaching and learning experience, we are evaluating the impact of technology-enhanced learning initiatives using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
In light of the University of Ottawa's 2030 transformation vision towards a more agile, interconnected, influential and sustainable university, we are evaluating the impact of techno-pedagogical innovations implemented at the university. In particular, we are analyzing its impact on the teaching experience of faculty and the learning experience of students.
Some examples include impact assessment of blended, online and bimodal formats, experiential and uOCompetencies-based approaches, and various teaching technologies. Our goal is to identify, on a cyclical basis and through quantitative and qualitative research methods, the strengths, weaknesses and potential of these initiatives, as well as to suggest administrative, pragmatic and pedagogical adaptations to improve the quality of future teaching and learning experiences.
