Teachers face increasing workloads and limited time for professional development. Discover how the Centre de pédagogie universitaire (CPU) at UQAR turned the holiday season into a unique opportunity for teacher development through two creative Moodle-based initiatives: The Festive Calendar and The Holiday Learning Journey. These projects combined gamification, festive themes, and practical resources to inspire teachers while addressing their busy schedules.

The Festive Calendar offered daily pedagogical tips in December, while the Holiday Learning Journey provided tools for integrating generative AI, classroom management, and active learning strategies. Both initiatives followed the RICE model (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), ensuring high impact with minimal effort.

Join Emilie Ringuet, Pedagogical and Technoeducational Advisor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski in Canada as she describes the reflective process behind those projects, the challenges of professional development for teaching resources, and the key outcomes of these projects. You'll also learn about the Moodle configurations and take home pedagogical resources and both projects in .mbz format. Let's unwrap the gift of effective, enjoyable and time-efficient professional development together!
