Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Positions 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.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

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)
