Description<\/h5><div id=\"ac-2875\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>Interested in finding new strategies to help activate your classroom and contextualize learning? Concept\/ mind mapping is an effective visual way to make e+xplicit purposeful, self-regulatory judgment that results in interpretation, analysis, evaluation and inference of knowledge and practice based upon the organization of ideas, thoughts, conceptual learning, and knowledge. (Kotcherlakota, Zimmerman, &amp; Berger, 2013). Shapes, colors, connections arrows (with explanation of the connection) can be used to acknowledge concepts, theory, ideas, and relationships\/ connections. It is a metacognitive technique used to promote critical thinking, engaged conversation, and professional growth, facilitate application of knowledge, and team process functioning. Students are challenged as a team to go beyond rote memorization of information into the processes of application and higher order thinking according to Bloom\u2019s taxonomy with concept\/ mind mapping.

Culturally-rooted Indigenous mentorship initiatives are on the rise and have proven to be a highly effective response. But what &#8216;is&#8217; Indigenous mentorship and how does it &#8216;fit&#8217; in higher education? Are we talking about western-based mentorship theory and practices that incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing and being; or the other way around? What, if at all, makes Indigenous mentorship approaches unique from western-based mentorship? These questions, and others, are being explored utilizing Indigenous methodologies in my Indigenous- and culturally-led PhD research at the University of British Columbia. This presentation will provide a glimpse into my current work and open up space for dialogue and idea sharing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aleiferi\">Making first-year calculus attractive<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time: <\/strong>10:40am-11:10am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenter: <\/strong>Evangelia Aleiferi, Mathematics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> VIU Nanaimo Campus: Building 210, Room 205<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h5 id=\"at-2879\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Event Description<\/h5><div id=\"ac-2879\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>I was recently reading an article where calculus was called \u201ca bankrupt concept of math\u201d and was described as outdated. We also often hear our students saying that it is disconnected from real life or other subjects they study. However, mathematical literacy is now more valuable than ever, with calculus still being one of the most practical and applicable STEM subjects. In an attempt to convince my students of the importance of calculus, I replaced one of my three traditional midterm tests with a group project that required each group to present a different application of calculus to the class.

What crucially gets overlooked in Eurocentric accounts is the Indigenous critique of then existing Western culture and governance institutions. Based on Indigenous values and democratic governance practices, this critique was influential in public debates and on major thinkers contributing to the Enlightenment. After describing and historically situating Indigenous critique, I will draw from my experience teaching it for the course &#8220;Globalization and Cultural Change&#8221; (SOCI380). I argue that not only does the Indigenous Critique represent a decisive pedagogical intervention in disciplines with a focus on modernity such as Sociology and Global Studies, but it also provides critical insight for the ethico-political processes of Reconciliation and decolonization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hajduk\">Fostering Informed Citizens in an Information Dumpster Fire: Strategies for Teaching Information Literacy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time: <\/strong>1:45pm-2:45pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenters:<\/strong><br>Natalie Hajduk, Library: Coordinator of Information and Digital Literacies<br>Luke McLeod, Library: Learning Commons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> VIU Nanaimo Campus: Building 210, Room 240<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h5 id=\"at-28717\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Event Description<\/h5><div id=\"ac-28717\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>The internet has become an information dumpster fire thanks to algorithms, information capitalism, artificial intelligence, and deep-seated systemic problems in the tech industry. It is becoming increasingly difficult to evaluate information to tell fact from fiction. Information literacy (IL) falls under the three pillars of VIU\u2019s Graduate Attributes and describes \u201cthe ability to find and critically evaluate relevant information and its sources, and to synthesize the information with existing knowledge.\u201d It is part of a valuable interconnected skill set that students should develop over the course of their time at VIU to enhance their employability. Faculty members, librarians and other educators, including Writing Centre and academic support staff, have a collective responsibility to support students in becoming effective researchers, critical consumers and creators of information. If we work together towards a shared vision, IL can be a core component of the university\u2019s curriculum and contribute to the success of students in their academic, professional, and personal lives. Join this roundtable discussion to learn from colleagues about their approaches to teaching IL across different disciplines, sharing ideas, perspectives, experiences, and strategies to move beyond challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heartland2\">Journeys and Stories: Orientating the Masters in Educational Leadership<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time: <\/strong>1:45pm-2:45pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenters:<\/strong><br>Nova Heartland, MA Candidate Educational Leadership<br>Harleen Kaur Kalra, MA Candidate Educational Leadership<br>Stesi Thoppil, MA Candidate Educational Leadership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> VIU Nanaimo Campus: Building 210, Room 205<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h5 id=\"at-28718\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Event Description<\/h5><div id=\"ac-28718\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>Through storytelling, our presentation will interpret how our personal journeys leading up to the start of our graduate studies have inspired the idea of designing a comprehensive orientation specifically for the Master of Education Leadership (MEDL) students here at Vancouver Island University.

During this session, I share stories from my teaching practice that reflect how I&#8217;ve learned to use time, both in and out of the classroom, to more-effectively support all students so that they have an opportunity to begin anew through inclusive, transformative education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"carruthers\">Growing an Accessible and Inclusive Systems Design Course with PlantUML<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time: <\/strong>10:45am-11:15am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenters:<\/strong><br>Sarah Carruthers, Computer Science<br>Amber Thomas, Liam Kaufman-Willis, Aaron Wang, Students in Computer Science<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> VIU Nanaimo Campus: Building 210, Room 255<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h5 id=\"at-28725\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Event Description<\/h5><div id=\"ac-28725\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>Diagrams are commonly used in Computer Science courses to communicate complex ideas, designs, and processes. While tools exist to accommodate blind and visually impaired users to work with diagrams, many tools fall short in terms of enabling these users to independently create and edit diagrams. This limits the extent to which blind users can work in team and peer-feedback activities that use visual diagrams. Adapting visual design activities to be accessible and inclusive benefits blind users and sighted users: being inclusive can lead to more diverse perspectives, which is invaluable to the creative process of iterative design. We describe how a Computer Science course was adapted, using off-the-shelf tools, to be not only accessible to a student who uses a screen reader but also inclusive, enabling all students to equally participate in team and peer-feedback activities. We report the successes and challenges of this experience from the perspective of the instructor, the blind student, and their sighted teammates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heartland\">How Do You Deal: A Gameplay of Ethics for Educators<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time: <\/strong>10:45am-11:15am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenter: <\/strong>Nova Heartland, MA Candidate Educational Leadership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> VIU Nanaimo Campus: Building 210, Room 205<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h5 id=\"at-28726\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Event Description<\/h5><div id=\"ac-28726\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>By \u201cGathering Together\u201d educational professionals will play an innovative and engaging game that is designed to draw awareness, ignite discussion and create dialogue over ethically perplexing educational situations.
