Good Morning,
Saskatchewan Polytechnic, University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan are
jointly hosting a Teaching and Learning<https://saskpolytech.ca/tlt2020/> conference
in Regina on May 5th and 6th. The Call for Proposals has just been extended until
February 7th and the research pathways are listed below. In particular, I think that #3
and #4 are a good fit for this group. All proposals will go through a blind peer review
process and we are aiming to send out notifications by the end of February.
1. Identifying the doors – Recognizing the barriers (e.g.: non-traditional learners,
language barriers, technology gaps, intersecting diversities)
2. Handing over the keys - Decolonization (e.g.: learner driven institutional
priorities, calls to action, success of Indigenous students, International education)
3. Unlocking the doors - Inclusive education and accessibility (e.g.: student and
learning supports, open pedagogy, peer mentoring)
4. Every door is the right door – Meeting learners where they are (e.g.: co-creating
syllabi, curriculum, student choice in assessment)
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or find me on Twitter @2020Tlt or
@tmmaddison. I hope to see some of you in Regina later this year.
Have a lovely weekend,
