Training & Workshops

Our workshops cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Overviews and demonstrations of emerging digital tools and resources.
  • How adult educators are using technology in creative ways.
  • Building learning experiences in technology-rich environments.

Here is what we have planned for 2023-2024:

Workshop series

Building digital skills with Microsoft (2023/24)

A series of workshops using Microsoft 365 tools and apps to foster communication and collaboration with learners. We think this works best when people can attend most sessions. Participants are provided with recordings and slide decks in case they miss a session or need to review. Workshop outlines are here. Registration link for January, February and March cohorts coming soon.

Building digital skills with AI (2024)

A series of workshops using various AI (artificial intelligence) tools and apps (such as ChatGPT) to foster communication and collaboration with learners. We think this works best when people can attend most sessions. Participants are provided with recordings and slide decks in case they miss a session or need to review. Workshop outlines coming soon. Registration link for January, February and March cohorts coming soon.

Building digital skills with Google (2023)

A series of workshops using the Google Toolbox and Google Classroom to foster communication and collaboration with learners. We think this works best when people can attend most sessions. Participants are provided with recordings and slide decks in case they miss a session or need to review. Workshop outlines are here.

Wayfinders Makerspace (Fall 2023)

Learn how makerspaces work and let your educator creativity flow. This year we are working with an activity-creation tool to adapt the Open Education Resources we like best — to make them interactive so we can empower learners with choice and opportunities to exercise their critical thinking skills. Makerspace started on October 16, 2023.

Online gatherings

Virtual Showcases (May – November 2023)

Innovative program coordinators and instructors who are using digital tools to connect and work with learners and colleagues share their approaches, strategies and tips. There are four Showcases per year. You can come to one or to the series. See what happened at previous Showcases here: The Showcase Collection.

Community Gabfests (2023/24)

Every month a group of literacy educators meet on Zoom to discuss literacy matters and share ideas, approaches and conundrums in an informal setting. Come to one, come to the series, but always come as you are. See what happened at previous Gabfests here: The Gabfest Collection.

Self-directed Learning

Planning your Digital Toolbox (2023/24)

Six self-directed reflective-practice modules for exploring digital technology tools and resources that will enhance and expand learning in your program.
