Digital Literacy-Focused Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW)

Douglas College is excited to offer our first-ever Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) with a Digital Literacy focus — an updated version of the classic ISW that now articulates with BCIT’s Polytechnic Teaching Certificate and the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program (VCC).

This 24-hour professional development experience is designed for instructors who want to strengthen their teaching practice, enhance digital fluency, and engage in meaningful peer feedback — all within a supportive, collaborative environment.
