Remote Experiential Learning Activity Approval Form

Important Information

  1. This form should only be submitted if students will be required to complete an experiential learning activity remotely (i.e., at-home) that requires them to acquire and/or purchase their own materials.
  2. If students will be required to purchase a commercial kit, do not complete this form. Please make arrangements directly with the McGill Bookstore by sending an email to patrick.mcgovern [at] mcgill.ca (Patrick McGovern).
  3. Instructors should be mindful that materials we may view as harmless may be a controlled substance in another country.
  4. The level of risk is a key consideration when proposing an at-home activity. Instructors are asked to assess and discuss inherent risks with their Chair. As needed, instructors are also encouraged to consult with their unit’s Health & Safety committee.
  5. Due consideration must be made as to whether the proposed at-home activity is a necessary component of the course. If an activity is not critically tied to the course, then it is strongly suggested that an alternative instructional approach be used.
  6. Instructors who assign experiential at-home activities should add the following text on their course outline:
    In this course you will be asked to carry out one (or more) experiential learning activities either using a commercial kit purchased through the McGill Bookstore or using common materials. Please ensure you take all proper precautions as described in the activity outline or the instructions in the kit, and that you dispose of materials responsibly, as recommended. If you have any concerns about undertaking such an activity, please send me an email.
  7. One form must be submitted for each home activity.

McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
