blog posts reconciliation web accessibility wordpressI am a professor who teaches a course titled Truth and Reconciliation. For their final projects, students explore one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action in a blog post submission. Students have the option to include their final projects on a public-facing website called Nàbowàdjige: Our Calls to Action.
I am in search of an individual who would be willing to partner with me to convert students' final projects into Wordpress pages. If you are looking to build your skills with basic Wordpress functions such as creating and publishing blog posts, ensuring accessibility, readability and the like, this might be a good opportunity for you.
Additionally, through your engagement with this project you'll learn more about reconciliation in Canada, accessible web design, open educational practices, and Creative Commons licensing.
- Wordpress Basics training
- Web Accessibility Basics training
- Learning about Creative Commons Licenses
- Learning about the Canadian TRC and the 94 Calls to Action
- Populating the existing Wordpress site by converting .docs, .ppts, and .pdfs into functional and accessible Wordpress pages
- Other related tasks can be mutually agreed upon
I will be available via Zoom and email for ongoing communication and support. In the past, I've spent time orienting students to the project. Then we mutually establish check-in points based on what the participants want and need.
