Joanna Highton
I have spent the last few years caring for my mother who, back in the day, was a bit of a lifelong learning radical herself. You can read about her work on this blog Oh WOW! Women at Work in the 1980s – Diverse Collections which may give some insights into what has influenced my …
Encountering the most profound belonging
Chris Corrigan shared an experience recounting a recent trip in British Columbia. The description of his encounter with wildlife is well worth the read. I was fortunate to spend time in the Alberta/BC mountain ranges this summer and connect with the way he describes seeing, hearing, smelling, just really being present in nature. Since then […]
EinstiegH5P for trying out H5P Creation
A certain dog was barking in the OE Global Connect yard and brought this one to my attention. You can sign up to get regularly updates of lots of really interesting Open Ed and Ed Tech related resources via email too. Apparently Nele Hirsch, one of our Open Ed peers over in Germany, has created […]

Building the Blogwall One Brick at a Time
I saw Reclaim Hosting was having some guest bloggers as an upcoming series, and the first one out of the gate was Lee discussing how ReadyWriting came to be. I’ve been thinking about that post on and off ever since. In part, I think it’s because Lee went pretty far back in her own journey […]

A New Cross-Canada Instructional Design/Online Learning Community
So the episode name is actually, Dave Cormier Gets COLD, the latest episode of Terry Greene’s Gettin’ Air Podcast. I think it’s the first new episode in awhile (or that I’ve caught at least) – NICE Terry! They lead in with a bit of Dave’s current work; recent book, his role at TRU, kids driving, […]
Yes, You Can Add H5P to Rise360 – Here’s How
I have a habit of jamming H5P into projects. Mostly that’s because when it comes to elearning authoring tools, it’s my favourite. Overall it blends portability, ease-of-use, and functionality in a balanced way. For example, sure you can make an interactive video using Storyline, but H5P makes it much faster, simpler, and easily replicable. Unfortunately […]
staff satisfaction in 2025
The Staff Engagement Survey’s latest iteration was run in February-March 2025. I am pleased that Learning, Teaching and Web (LTW) had a survey response rate of 77%, higher than in 2023 (63%). This is also a much better response rate than the overall University (42%), and higher than ISG as a whole (75%). Overall, the …
