Registration Deadline: Oct 19, 2021 01:30 PM

Transition to In-Person or Hybrid Learning: Community and Connections
What will things look at campus when we return? How can I prepare for being on campus? How can I connect with other students and find community when we return?

The 3-part workshop series on Transitions to In-Person or Hybrid Learning will explore different aspects of the move from digital to face-to-face learning for students registered or registering with Accessibility Services. Facilitated by a Learning Strategist, this session will be an opportunity for you to connect with peers and to learn from upper-year students as you make this transition. A panel of upper-year undergraduate and graduate students who are registered with Accessibility Services will discuss their experiences with in-person classes at the University of Toronto and discuss how they are preparing for the change back to in-person or hybrid learning. You will also have an opportunity to ask the panel your questions and to share your strategies with peers. Topics of this session may include:

  • An introduction to in-person learning at U of T and Accessibility Services on campus
  • Mutual and common concerns during the transition to in-person or hybrid learning
  • Question and answer period with upper year undergraduate and graduate students
  • Discussions and strategy sharing around preparing for the transition to in-person or hybrid learning
Registration for the other workshops in this series are not required to attend this session.
