Chris Whittaker along with his colleagues Liz Charles, Nathaniel Lasry & Michael Dugdale (John Abbott College), and Kevin Lenton (Vanier College) recently completed聽their PAREA-funded project that looks at using collective conceptual networks for learning. They have participated in a number of Ped Days across Qu茅bec, and gave a series of invited lectures and conference presentations. In June 2013 Chris was awarded the “Shifting Minds National Award” from the C21 Canada organization, the AQPC teaching award and in May of the same year he was also awarded Canadian Association of Physicists teaching award. In 2014, Liz Charles and Chris Whittaker, along with their colleagues from John Abbott and Vanier colleges, were awarded another PAREA grant. This project聽focusses on pedagogical ecosystems and novel approaches to active learning.
