Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an extension of a pilot in the Faculty of LA&PS, Expanding University 101 is a project with three objectives. The course firstly aims to help incoming, direct-entry high school students (particularly those accessing post-secondary education for the first time) make a successful transition to university. Successful transitions positively impact both student success and retention within the faculty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the project will contribute to the advancement of effective modes of eLearning \u2013 specifically, through more compelling gamification (e.g., the application of game design elements, dynamics, and frameworks) of course activities. A new eClass format will be created to make the online interface more engaging for students; this format will be accessible to any instructor interested in gamifying their courses in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, the project includes the creation of a more robust peer mentoring framework, so that upper-level students can gain valuable leadership experience and participate in impactful university-community collaborations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
