Good Morning,

Saskatchewan Polytechnic, University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan are jointly hosting a Teaching and Learning 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,
