The Teaching and Research Commons (TREC) is a collaborative initiative bringing together the EdTech and Pedagogy Coordinator, Academic Technology Services (ATS), the Library and Learning Centre, the Community of Practice for Instructor Well-Being and Effective Teaching (CoP), Accessibility Services, and the Research and Innovation Office (RIO).
TREC provides an open, visible and centrally located physical space at the New Westminster (NW) and Coquitlam (CO) libraries. These spaces are designed to give faculty a convenient, in-person access to coordinated supports for teaching, research, and learning, drawing on expertise from across these partner units.
Consultation services
TREC builds on the success of an array of existing consultation services and now provides options to access them under one roof! In-person consultation supports faculty in a wide range of pedagogical needs to enhance your research, teaching, and classroom needs.
Faculty development
The EdTech and Pedagogy Coordinator, ATS, Instructor Well-Being and Effective Teaching (CoP), LR, and RIO currently provide a broad spectrum of events and learning opportunities for faculty. With TREC, we will coordinate professional development activities, targeted workshops, and guest speakers designed specifically to support faculty growth.
