Three Webinars on Open Educational Practices for Equity and Inclusion
Set of three webinars for Open Education Week (March 1st – 5th 2021)
Developed for: Anyone located anywhere globally who had an internet connection
Brief: Provide an overview of Open Educational Practices and of issues related to Equity and Inclusion in higher education. In each webinar 60-minute, participants were given 40 minutes to collaboratively complete activities prepared in a whiteboard (Miro).
Links:
Webinar 1: Designing Collaborative Online Tasks for Various Contexts
Webinar 2: Examination of Inclusion and Exclusion in Non-Academic Situations
Webinar 3: Collaborative Online Tasks Intended to Increase Equity and Inclusion
In these webinars, I began with a PPT presentation in Zoom on a topic. I demonstrated how to navigate and edit a Miro board. I modelled how to complete an example of an activity. I then shared a link to a Miro board with the participants. I divided them into breakout rooms and invited them to complete the activities collaboratively for 40 minutes. I entered each of the breakout rooms to answer questions and provide more guidance as necessary. In the last 10 minutes of the webinar, I closed the breakout rooms. I used a plenary session to allow the participants to provide a synthesis of their thoughts on the activity.

Interactive Webinar on OER
Developed for: Professors and academic staff
Brief: Provide an overview of OER and open licensing
URL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ofWS7kDn5j1o9nAOM1xzShYA4yoYqSZaWhzSppKaU68/edit?usp=sharing
This webinar was developed in Google Docs so that I could present a topic and have participants post questions directly on the slides in areas that they were curious about. I paused throughout the webinar to allow participants to write their questions and to answer them. This approach allowed me to smoothly switch between presenting and answering questions. This was in contrast to having to pause the presentation to check in a separate chat box, which occurs with other presentation formats. Since the participants had the link to the Google Doc, they could leave the webinar with the presentation materials and consult it as necessary.

URL:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SFcuVfZeMdgoUkZ040stj7yfmUQt2-4uXxds7piUW-A/edit?usp=sharing
All identifying information and text written by students was removed. This was an activity where students were invited to share an image that provoked a response in them. The slides were prepared in advance to leave space for the students’ name at the top of the slides, to have space to share an image, and a text box to describe what the image meant to them. Students were invited to write in the “Speaker Notes” section of other students’ slides to comment on the images.

Images created using PPT: Grade 9 Science
Developed for: Centre franco-ontarien de ressources pédagogiques.
Brief: Create a French-language course on Grade 9 Applied Science
These presentations demonstrate my ability to create images in PPT. Apart from a few clipart images and all photos, the images, I created all of the visual components in these PPTs. Where relevant, I consulted references so that the images could be scientifically relevant (e.g. the Ph scales). I wrote the text using a relatively big font and fewer words than for more advanced courses. The intention was to reduce the amount of information that students took in.

Animations in PPT: Electrochemistry
Developed for: Centre franco-ontarien de ressources pédagogiques.
Brief: Create a French-language course on Grade 12 Chemistry
This presentation on electrochemical cells is entirely of my creation. I drew every single diagram, created all of the animations, and consulted reference books to write the text.

Web site: History of Educational Technology
Developed for: A course about educational technology
Brief: As part of a group assignment, I and some classmates were asked to create a week’s worth of material for a lesson on the topic of our choice.
URL: History of Ed Tech
This wiki was the platform for a lesson about Marshall McLuhan’s “The medium is the message” idea. My team summarised articles, provided learning activities, and moderated discussions. We asked our classmates to read the articles and to use Vuvox to make a simple slide show of technologies they had used in their youth. We also asked them to form teams, to use Google Docs to summarize the “message” of different media, and to discuss the week’s content in our course’s LMS.

Video Capture about Video Captures
Developed for: A course about educational technology
Brief: Create a video that describes at least one video-based technology
