This volume provides readers with methods, case stories, and strategies related to Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) course design so that they may make decisions about using it themselves and even begin their own HyFlex course (re)design. More specifically, based on the needs identified for their course(s), readers will be able to a) determine if and how HyFlex course design could help them solve critical needs, b) take advantage of emerging opportunities to improve their education practice, enabling them to better serve more students, c) gain an awareness of the HyFlex design, d) find their own innovative HyFlex solution to their specific challenges, and e) begin the HyFlex implementation process using strategies similar to those used by instructors described in this book. The volume describes the fundamental principles of HyFlex design, explains a process for design and development, and discusses implementation factors that instructors have experienced in various higher education institutions. These factors include the drivers, the variations in implementation approaches and constraints, and the results (e.g., student scores, student satisfaction). A series of worksheets provides specific guidance that can be used by individuals or teams engaging in HyFlex design projects at their own institution. Case reports from institutions and faculty who have successfully implemented HyFlex-style courses provide a rich set of real-world stories to draw insights for a reader’s own design setting.

In this section, you and your team will engage in a Landscape Analysis to uncover key structures and supports that can guide your work to support Accessibility in OER. You may or may not answer all of these questions, but this is an offering.

Long Description:
Sociology of Education in Canada utilizes a contemporary theoretical focus to analyze how education in Canada is affected by pre-existing and persistent inequalities among members of society. It presents the historical and cultural factors that have shaped our current education system, examines the larger social trends that have contributed to present problems, discusses the various interest groups involved, and analyzes the larger social discourses that influence any discussion of these issues.

To achieve this, Karen L. Robson uses many current, topical, and relatable issues in Canadian education to ensure that students fully comprehend the information being presented and leave with an appreciation of how the sociology of education is inextricably linked to issues of stratification.

Long Description:
This is a book about change. It is a book about leadership. It is about technology not being the solution, but rather an accelerator of a strong vision. It is a reminder that when things crash and burn, it isn’t time to give up. This book is a conversation with tremendous leaders, all pursuing excellence in teaching through leadership and technology. Igniting Your Leadership with Technology serves as a compilation of interviews with educators, administrators, and instructional leaders working in the field across all grade levels and organizations. Each person shares his or her insights when it comes to effectively implementing technology in the classroom, getting teachers on board, and sustaining high-quality teaching and learning in our schools. We are future Doctors in Educational Leadership, currently studying at Concordia University Irvine. As part of our learning in the course: Technology in a Systems Approach to Leadership, we created an open textbook to support educational leaders looking to ignite their leadership with technology. This course was the third in our doctoral program and utilized a different approach to how we might apply what we were learning in a meaningful and more public way. This work was created under the guidance of Dr. Bonni Stachowiak, to whom we are extremely thankful. “We choose to be motivational leaders grounded in faith who advocate for and empower each other to achieve success through encouragement, collaboration, and transformative learning.” ~ Irvine 9 This statement represents our cohort’s collective mission, which came alive throughout the process of creating this work. Our team’s strengths were vital in being able to accomplish this feat within such a condensed timeframe.

In this course, students will explore Indigenous education and current teaching practices, in order to bring real life examples of how we can incorporate Indigenous teaching and learning into the classroom – and feel comfortable doing so. Whether or not you are an Indigenous teacher, it is imperative that we do this work together, so that all learners are provided with access to Indigenous histories and worldviews. By the end of the course, learners will identify their own goals as educators and assemble a teaching portfolio that engages with Indigenous teaching and learning practices.
