Brightspace Best Practice Potluck (May 29)

Help guide our team as we push the envelope to create engaging, consistent courses for learners. If you submit your best Brightspace course by May 21, you will enter a draw to win $50 on your employee card. You may also be invited to present at a Brightspace Bites Workshop! Submit your course here or register to attend the workshop here. (Please note: The potluck refers to course items only, not food items.)

PIE Drive (May 30)

Spring is here and PIEs be near! On May 30 from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm, we are selling raffle tickets in C126 for your chance to win delicious pies. Raffle proceeds from this free event will be donated to the Algonquin Food Cupboard. Contribute your pie creation to the Drive as a pie donor here by May 22. Please contact Justyne Jones @ Jonesj1@algonquincollege.com with your questions. No registration required.

PIE Toss @ Boss ft. Farbod Karimi

Until May 29, faculty who have submitted or submit an idea to the Product Idea Exchange will be entered in our PIE Contest. One lucky winner will throw a pie in the face of Farbod Karimi, Chair of the Learning and Teaching Services, after the PIE Drive! Enter the contest here. We will also offer a Brightspace Bites workshop on how to use the PIE on May 30. All attendees in this session will have an opportunity to enter the PIE Toss @ Boss Contest. Register for the session here.
