Dr. Collette Lemieux is Assistant Professor and Interim Director of the Mokakiiks Centre for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. In her role as interim director, Collette oversees the annual SoTL Symposium, the SoTL development program, and the SoTL grants program. Her research program focuses on students’ learning when utilizing innovative pedagogical strategies. For example, after designing interactive stories for students to explore statistics, she investigated what types of understanding students demonstrated of key statistics topics. To better understand the type of cooperative learning students engage in, she has also investigated what students talk about during group exams.
