Join us to watch Professor Nikol Rummel of Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, launch the 2026–2027 SALTISE webinar series.
Title: New Forms of Collaborative Learning? Possibilities of Interactions with Generative AI Support Systems and Issues Arising
Collaborating in small groups can be effective to for learning. At the same time, groups often encounter challenges during collaboration. In this interactive webinar, Professor Nikol Rummel will explore the key mechanisms behind collaborative learning and examine how generative AI can support group learning. Read the full abstract to explore what participants can expect from the webinar.
Science Education Exchange: Evaluating Blended Learning in Undergraduate Statistics Education 
Wednesday, October 21, 2026, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m., 2001 McGill College, room 650
Speaker: Dr. Tharshanna Nadarajah, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University
Join us to learn about a blended learning model implemented in an undergraduate statistics course. Using a mixed-methods survey, the study evaluates student engagement, self-regulated learning, conceptual understanding, and perceived learning gains. Findings suggest that the blended model supports deeper statistical thinking while preserving the benefits of face-to-face instruction.
Advanced Grading and Feedback Strategies for Physics TAs
Tuesday, October 27, 2026, 10:00-11:00 a.m., Rutherford Boardroom, room 105
This workshop aims to support Physics TAs with grading student labs, assignments, midterms, or ongoing student projects. We will cover strategies for writing and delivering feedback as well as using/building rubrics. Coffee, tea and snacks will be served! Physics TAs can count this workshop toward workload hours for training.
