Whether you have an existing course that your program might want to test in a 4-week term or a new concept you’d like to test out, offering a course during Intersession in May is a great way to dip your toe into flexible learning.

Are you an administrator who can share information with faculty and staff in your department or Faculty? Do you collaborate with colleagues who are already pushing the boundaries of teaching and learning? Sharing information about INSPIRE can help spread the word!

Do you have a flexible learning course idea that you’d love to explore in an experimental environment? Pitching an idea for an INSPIRE course offering via our annual fall proposal process could be a great pathway to consider. We’re also happy to chat at anytime about ideas and how to explore their feasibility.

Do you have a flexible learning idea that doesn’t quite fit with anything you’ve read yet? Or are you interested in trying something new in a low-risk way? If so, maybe there’s an opportunity to partner with INSPIRE to test something completely new.

Do you have a student-facing role or links with a communications channel that can help students across campus learn about INSPIRE and our flexible learning offerings? We’re always happy to share content or connect with communications colleagues to help spread the word with students campus-wide.

Do you have an idea that might be suitable for a non-academic or academic microcredential? Our team can provide you with guidance on the necessary steps to take and the resources available to support you in bringing your idea to life.

We would be happy to introduce ourselves at any upcoming meetings, workshops, retreats, or other spaces you might have planned for connection within your department, Faculty, or unit.

Do you oversee communications tools? Sharing a link to INSPIRE on websites or following us and/or reposting our social media content can go a long way to sharing our work with a broad audience.
