COED Fall Meeting

The COED Fall Meeting is an excellent opportunity to (re-)connect with educational development colleagues across the province (and beyond). COED welcomes educational developers working across the higher education sectors in Ontario to meet, share, and learn about teaching, curriculum, graduate student, and instructor development initiatives. Explore materials from past COED Fall Meetings listed below.

COED Fall Meeting 2026: October 16th

Our hope for the Fall Meeting is to create a space for genuine reconnection – both with one another and with the many forms of connection in our work.

As educational developers, we are no strangers to connective practices. We must build and maintain relationships with other humans in our workspaces; we must connect our pedagogies with our values, resources, and the technologies & tools available to us and our classrooms; we must situate ourselves within our spaces, communities, and socio-geographical lands; and we must make these connections clear with every faculty member, instructor, teaching assistant, student, or administrator we engage with.

We hope to engage in meaningful dialogue through a series of different session formats throughout the day. Please review the agenda below and then get excited to join us on October 16th!
