BECCA
Hello! Welcome to UVic’s Teach Anywhere Podcast. My name is Rebecca Edwards, and this is my co-host, Thiago Hinkel.

THIAGO
Before we begin, we would like to acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

BECCA
We both work at Technology Integrated Learning, which is part of UVic’s division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation. We are so excited to introduce you to our new Teach Anywhere Podcast.

THIAGO
In each episode of this podcast, we will speak to an instructor about their use of educational technology in their courses. We will ask the instructors to tell us the story of their course, including the steps they took to prepare, how things played out in the classroom, and whether they would adapt their approach in the future. We are interested in learning how they have selected and used educational technologies and how educational technology has intersected with their pedagogy.

BECCA
We decided to create a podcast capturing instructor stories of using educational technology because we’ve heard from UVic faculty and instructors that they are interested in hearing stories and lived experiences from their peers. We hope to build connections and community across the university.

THIAGO
This podcast might interest UVic faculty, instructors, TAs, graduate students and others who are interested in teaching and learning, especially those who use Brightspace, Microsoft Teams, Echo 360, Zoom, WordPress, or Crowdmark.

BECCA
Our first season will run over the summer session at UVic. Beginning in May, we will release an episode every two weeks until the end of August.

THIAGO
Each episode will be about 20 minutes long and will be paired with self serve web resources. We hope that our listeners can enjoy an episode while taking a break from their work or while commuting.

BECCA
Thank you so much for joining us today, and we hope you will join us for our first season. You can find episodes wherever you get your podcasts. Make sure to visit our website at uvic.ca/teachanywhere, where you can learn more about teaching and learning at UVic. We will talk to you again soon.
