Discover the New Ideas, Resources and Pedagogy Being Developed at The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario

Learn about how ideas of diversity and inclusiveness are incorporated into a blended learning program in Leadership in Community Engagement, designed for working professionals. Experiential learning and intercultural practices underlie the pedagogy, supporting critical thinking and sharing of perspectives.

Explore how CCE increased its focus on online learning, with more instructional design support for instructors, integration of real life projects into online and a shift to leaner, less detailed course sites which feature instructors offering love teaching.

Meeting a growing need in the community, CCE is designing a blended learning course to inform and support adult caregivers of older adults. Besides offering content on the human body, health care system and self-care, the course aims to encourage development of connections among caregivers.
