The wide range of web-based social media tools offers exciting teaching and learning possibilities. These tools offer useful platforms for supporting publishing by students and instructors, as well reflection and collaboration across the course and beyond.
This session will provide a survey introduction to the most popular online tools and environments, with a special focus on how educators can use them effectively. It will provide an overview of systems supported by UBC (such as blogs and wikis) as well as externally-hosted services such as Twitter and YouTube. In addition to discussing the pedagogical implications of these tools, there will also be brief examinations of concerns such as privacy and copyright.
This is an introductory session, and familiarity with these applications is not required. But please bring your questions and your ideas.

Many students enter their first course with Indigenous content in their third and fourth year of university. Lack of exposure to this material often results in underdeveloped ways of thinking critically about their own identity and the representation of others in their writing. How do you assist students writing and researching on Indigenous topics while confronted by these challenges?
In this session we will examine the following questions:
How do you build student capacity through critical feedback.
How do you assist students when they are writing and researching on Indigenous topics.
How do you negotiate around research topics and ideas and give students feedback that is productive even though their work isn’t?

Sexual assault unfortunately is a very common crime, and happens to people of all genders and backgrounds. Chances are you know someone who is a survivor. When sexual assault happens, it not only affects the survivor, but often their friends, family, and partner as well. In this workshop we go over how you can support a survivor, and what to say if someone tells you about their experience with sexual assault. We also tell you about the services out there where survivors can go to seek help if they want to.
Facilitators: The Sexual Assault Support Centre (SASC)
Limit: 5 people
