Whose Land Is It Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization

Bycward

TRUFA hosted a book launch for Whose Land Is It Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization on the Kamloops campus yesterday.

If you missed it, like I did, the book is available online (epub, pdf): Whose Land Is It Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization (links to Federation of Post-Secondary Educators).

Looks like a great book with writers from TRU, from around Secwepemcul’ecw, and from across Canada.

“The handbook provides a variety of Indigenous perspectives on the history of colonialism, current Indigenous activism and resistance, and outlines the path forward to reconciliation.”  (TRUFA event information)

Writers include: Arthur Manuel, Taiaiake Alfred, Glen Coulthard, Russell Diabo, Beverly Jacobs, Melina Laboucan-Massimo, Kanahus Manuel, Jeffrey McNeil-Seymour, Pamela Palmater, Shiri Pasternak, Nicole Schabus, Senator Murray Sinclair, and Sharon Venne.

Reflective Practice: eLearning Rubric to Self-Assess Quality of Online Courses

Bycward

Reflective practice is a valuable approach to editing. Reflecting critically on our work allows us to learn, innovate, and ultimately improve our courses. eCampusAlberta’s eLearning Rubric can be a valuable tool to self-assess the quality of our work: http://www.ecampusalberta.ca/files/rubricBooklet.pdf. Their rubric offers benchmarks for course design, accessibility, presentation, writing, learning activities, assessments, copyright, learner supports, etc. The checklist has many good ideas for course developers and editors: Some we…
