Hello everyone,
It is with great joy that I share a report that I am proud to have co-authored with my
collaborators Oya
Pakkal<https://www.linkedin.com/in/oya-pakkal-8a38b9249/>,
Catherine
Lachaîne<https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-lacha%C3%AEne-51923791/&g…,
and Robert
Luke<https://www.linkedin.com/in/raluke/>. The report focuses on the
capacity of Ontario's post-secondary institutions to support open educational
practices and is based on a Province-wide survey of Ontario’s colleges, universities, and
Indigenous institutes using our Institutional Self-Assessment (ISAT2)
tool<https://inclusiveeducationlab.com/isat2/>. This research project was supported
by an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council
of Canada.
The report, which will be formally launched tomorrow at eCampusOntario's Technology +
Education Seminar + Showcase<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/tessconference/> event at
the Toronto Reference Library, is available online in English and French at:

Additional research is planned in other jurisdictions, including in British Columbia, in
partnership with BCcampus. If you are interested in doing similar work in your
institutional or regional context, please do reach out.
Thank you,

My working hours might vary substantially from yours. Please do not feel any pressure or

Brock University is located on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabe
peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. The territory is covered by
the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon
Wampum Agreement. Today these lands are the home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit
peoples and acknowledging them reminds us that our great standard of living is directly
related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
