If you have taken the Blackboard Collaborate and/or Creating Interactive Content workshops you have a basic awareness around using Collaborate and H5P. Or maybe there is another topic you would like to dive deeper into with the help of the E-Learning Office? If you would now like to build some more practical skills in using a tool introduced to you by the E-Learning Office then consider getting together a few likeminded colleagues and booking a small group tutorial. These tutorials will provide you with an opportunity to move beyond just listening about the tool or idea to trying things out for yourself.
Group size: 4-6
Duration: 1-2 hrs
Delivery method: Online
Facilitated by: The E-Learning Office
You can provide a list of questions or specific topics you want covered or the E-Learning Office can create a tutorial for your group.
Book a tutorial for your group
Not certain you can get a group together but would still like to sign up? If there are enough individuals who sign up then we can put together a tutorial for you.

In July 2011, the family of Harry and Marjorie MacLauchlan of Stanhope, PEI made another leadership gift to UPEI to create a substantial program of awards to encourage and recognize student writing achievement. The gift is to honour H. Wade MacLauchlan’s twelve years of service as UPEI president and vice-chancellor, and to recognize the importance of effective writing as a foundational skill for academic success and lifelong learning.
The MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing is the largest such student-oriented program in Canada.
A total of 60 awards valued at $500 each are available in 2020 for successful applicants.
Returning undergraduate students, faculty, and staff are eligible to apply for a MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing based on criteria for four categories:
MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing (Community)
MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing (Course Work)
MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing (Faculty and Staff)
MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing (Webster Centre)
The UPEI learning community is encouraged to review the four categories of prizes for details on submission criteria. The deadline for submissions is October 6, 2020.

As part of our Campus high voltage distribution system upgrade project, we will be required to have a number of power interruptions. These power interruptions are necessary to transfer the power from the existing UPEI high voltage electrical switchgear located in the lower level of the Central Utility Building to the new high voltage electrical distribution system located in the new main electrical room recently added on to the Central Utility Building.
The schedule of power interruptions and associated buildings is listed below. This schedule may be required to be changed as we progress through the stages. Should that be required, I will send out a new Campus notice listing the updated schedule.
The emergency power generators will be started for each building prior to the beginning of the power interruption, which will mean there will be no delay of power for anything currently on emergency power when the power is disconnected.
Facilities Management apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail at jmacphail@upei.ca or 902-566-6034.
