Course Description:

The University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Arts is pleased to announce a Long-Term Assignment (LTA) opportunity in our Experiential Learning (EL) program. This innovative initiative is focused on providing in-depth, experiential learning opportunities both in English and French streams. The LTA will play a pivotal role in shaping the program's growth and sustainability.
This position is being established to ensure the quality, continuity, and sustained development of the newly In-Depth Experiential Learning (EL) option within the Faculty. As a program in its formative stages, the Experiential Learning initiative requires dedicated, consistent instructional and administrative leadership - in both English and French streams - to build the community partnerships, pedagogical frameworks, and institutional relationships that this model depends upon.
The LTA will be shared with the Department of Modern Languages (LLM), reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the program. The position will carry a teaching load of two Spanish courses (ESP) and four AHL courses (tagged as experiential learning), alongside a 3-credit administrative component dedicated to the facilitation, coordination, and supervision of Experiential Learning activities in the francophone community engagement stream.
The administrative component is essential and warranted given the significantly higher workload demands of community-engaged and experiential courses compared to traditional classroom instruction. These responsibilities include liaison with community partners, student placement oversight, reflective learning assessment, and ongoing program coordination. These duties extend beyond standard course delivery.
