Event Description

Multi-access (UBCV)
This event is part of the 2025 Celebrate Learning Week, taking place from May 5 – 9, 2025.

This hands-on workshop introduces faculty to PrairieLearn, a learning tool for creating personalized, auto-graded assessments. While often used in programming and STEM courses, PrairieLearn can support a wide range of learning activities beyond coding. Participants will explore how to design and integrate custom questions and interactive content in their own courses—from quantitative reasoning to conceptual learning. No programming experience is required, and examples will be provided for various disciplines including the humanities, social sciences, and professional education.

Facilitators:

  • Fatemeh Salehian Kia, Faculty member, UBC iSchool, UBCV
  • Kyla McCallum, Graduate student, UBC iSchool, UBCV
