The University of Windsor GATA Network Team, led by Betsy Keating, Melanie Santarossa, and Candace Nast, created resources to support graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants (TAs), including a teaching and learning handbook. They promoted the handbook through 500 calls for contributors and received 25 total responses, with contributions from 15 TAs and 10 faculty members across Arts & Social Sciences, the Centre for Teaching & Learning, Leddy Library, and Sciences. The team also used social media platforms like a blog, Twitter, and Facebook to promote TA resources but faced roadblocks in effectively measuring the impact of their work.
