Terry Greene on Sometimes it may just be a trickle. Sometimes it will be more like a babbling brook. Maybe we’ll see some white water now and again. This site that you are visiting right now is a flow of all of the …
Alan Levine on Look for information about the Ontario Extend project and all of the modules at the new site at https://extend.ecampusontario.ca/…
HJ.DeWaard on This past week has been a P3 kind of adventure. And it’s not over. It’s important to take time to pause, reflect and consider the impact of events as you move forward. It’s moments of reflections that shift and reframe … Continue reading →
This past weekend saw Toronto host, for the second year in a row, the 2018 Creative Commons Global Summit. I attended last year as a participant but this year I wanted to do a little more by submitting a proposal to run a session about The Open Patchbooks. Rumour has it that my proposal arrived to CC as the very first submission. Fact has it that my session was accepted (YAY!) and slotted in as the very last presentation. Sunday evening […]

Accessible Markdown Pad (a.k.a. YodaPad) I’ll just throw this out there: I hate Microsoft Word. Not just because of Clippy, that universally loathed faux-magnon precursor of Cortana, but because Word’s primary functionality is so compromised by commercial choices that the enterprise isn’t worth its parts. Ever tried to adjust initial pagination on a document with...
Communication and its Discontents At Fleming College, we’re trying to bring Communications learning into the 21st century. That means using good research to define appropriate goals and using communication technology to help achieve those goals.

Some of the purpose-built stuff I’ve written over the last 20 years has become essential for my day-to-day teaching, so I’ve begun slowly porting it from VB6 to C#, my new programming language. The target audience is teachers, I suppose, but...

lynncartan on Today’s Daily Extend (#oext138) is titled Subterranean Scholarship Blues. This Extend challenged us to consider instructional challenges we have faced in the past. This Extend ties into the Scholar Module during which we will explore the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The Scholarship module is all about evaluating your teaching practice and finding the places where it’s just not working, where we can improve as teachers, or how we can better support our students. For this Extend, I decided […]
HJ.DeWaard on Here it is. My report for the Experimenter Module for the Ontario Extend activity bank. It’s part of my commitment to participate with the #ExtendEast cohort to further our collective knowledge. It’s not the first experimenters report, nor will it … Continue reading →
David Porter on Greetings #ExtendEast – @ontarioextend Extend East Cohort – and welcome to the Scholar module. When I was thinking about how to construct the Scholar module, it didn’t take long for me to think about the most challenging moment I’d experienced as a teacher during the last few years. Much of my recent experience had been as an online instructor in UBC’s Master of Educational Technology (MET) program, which is fully online experience for students. However, when I was asked to […]
