Thu, September 5, 2013 9:15 AM - 11:45 AM IRVING K. BARBER LEARNING CENTRE. Free - Please Register. The UBC Faculty Senate has voted to suspend classes on September 18th to honour the opening of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's BC National Event and to help develop a better awareness and understanding of the Indian Residential School system that operated in Canada from 1875-1996, and how its effects are still with us today.
This workshop is an opportunity for faculty, staff, and other interested parties to connect with educational resources that could be integrated and contextualized into their courses to raise awareness of the Residential Schools and their significance. This hands-on session will explore the appropriate open educational resources, tools, and strategies that instructors can use to help create meaningful engagement with the TRC event.
Location: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre - Seminar Room 2.22A/B
