presentations pedagogy reconciliation web pages microsoft powerpoint teachingPositions available: 1-2
I am a College-level Professor teaching at a College of Applied Arts and Technologies. I teach a course titled Truth and Reconciliation. For their final projects, students explore one of the TRC's Calls to Action in a blog-type submission. Students are invited to include their final projects on a public-facing website called Nàbowàdjige: Our Calls to Action. Submissions usually come in the form of PowerPoint presentations and Word documents.
I'm looking for help converting these assignment submissions into accessible public-facing web pages, with appropriate licensing included. Some students also elect to post anonymously, so identifying information would need to be removed.
Successful applicants will have the opportunity to complete some or all the following learning and tasks:
- Introduction meeting and regular check-in meetings - 4 hours
- Wordpress Basics e-learning course - 3 hours
- Web accessibility basics course - 2 hours
- Creative Commons Licensing 101 reading - 2 hours
- Learn about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the 94 Calls to Action - 3 hours
- Read the Progress Report on the 94 Calls to Action - 2 hours
- Learn about OER-enabled pedagogy - 1 hour
- Convert student's assignment submissions into accessible web pages (all remaining hours)
Applicants will have ample opportunities to learn as they go! I'll support them in accessing relevant learning, and will support them as we transfer necessary files, clarify various processes, and ensure that they are set up to succeed.
The work can be completed asynchronously, or we can work together via Zoom is that is preferable. Either way, I will be readily available to support, but I'm hoping that once the student has a sense of what is required, they'll be able to work fairly independently.
