Ontario #9x9x25 Post Number 7 of 9 #IDIG
So here I am in week 9 of 9x9x25 backtracking to week 7 for many reasons, not least that 3 weeks can flip by in my life like 5 minutes. It happens all the time, but I’m not going to let it hold me back from finishing projects like this 9x9x25 one. Also, I promised…
Making Sense – 5 months After #9x9x25 Post 6
While this might seem like an easy post, because I’m recycling older materials, I went back and tidied up a bit, made these resources a little more generic–not so specific to the original MOOC (massive open online course) that I ran in June 2018. The purpose of the modules is to provide interested educators (post-secondary,…
Serendipity and Online Teaching – Week 5 (shortly followed by Week 6) of #9x9x25
For this week’s 9x9x25 post, which is technically last week’s, but I was busy with other things, I was very lucky to have stumbled in to a request from “recently given a great new open assignment” Jim Luke who is now the Open Learning Faculty Fellow at Lansing Community College in Michigan. This in addition…

Photo by Danielle MacInnes on Unsplash As I near the culmination of a three-year Doctor of Education program, and a 37 year journey of education since my high school graduation in 1981 (sure, go ahead, do the math, but here I will allow that I was 16 when I graduated), I am most certainly contemplating…

Awesome sketchnote from Beck Pitt Open and Equity In keeping with the spirit of the 9 x 9 x 25 challenge I’m working toward completing, my post about my experience at Niagara Falls will be about what I learned related to post-secondary teaching. I don’t want to forget, before I get going, to thank my…
Embedded Open Transparency: A Definition – 9 x 9 x 25 Week 2 (of 9)
Photo by James Sutton on Unsplash In this week’s instalment of posting for nine weeks in a row, I’m exploring open transparency as an issue in modern teaching and learning. At the moment, I live and breath open education and use of open educational resources (OER) in my professional and graduate studies, so it seems…
Here we go 9 x 9 x 25 – Teaching Philosophy #OExtend
Link to Photo by Charlotte Coneybeer on Unsplash Okay, let’s get ready to roller disco. Staring October 1, 2018, I’ll be posting a weekly tidbit (25 words or more) about teaching in my Ontario context as part of the Ontario Extend (extend your teaching) challenge. If you would like to…
#CCSummit 2018 Toronto
This year marks my second CC Summit. I attended in 2017 as a brand new employee of eCampusOntario (I work as a Program Manager on government funded post-secondary education projects and building open community in Ontario). I had been involved in the open community for several years, and certainly knew the basics of CC licenses…
#altc December 12 – Technology and Us – Sock Puppets
Sock Monkey Portrait #3 by Ryan Poplin is shared using a CC BY SA 2.0 Generic License (retrieved from Flickr.com) So it happened this morning that technology played a spoiler to the beginning of a lovely online winter conference. From extensive personal experience I feel the pain of coordinators, presenters, and participants in this. For…
