One-on-one cuLearn training: One-on-one training is eligible for pedagogical training hours only if the course instructor the TA works for confirms via email that s/he requires individualized cuLearn training. TAs should have confirmation in hand and ready to share with the EDC before scheduling a one-on-one session.
- Only training sessions鈥攁nd not troubleshooting inquiries鈥攃ount towards hours for paid pedagogical training. We define 鈥渢raining鈥� as a targeted overview of cuLearn with the goal of enhancing cuLearn literacy, whereas we define 鈥渢roubleshooting鈥� as solving smaller, specific cuLearn issues without an emphasis on skills and knowledge development. The EDC has sole discretion as to whether your interaction constitutes 鈥渢raining鈥� or 鈥渢roubleshooting.鈥�
- TAs can earn a maximum of 1.0 hour towards paid pedagogical training, per year, through one-on-one cuLearn training.
