UDL FOR INDIGENOUS PEDAGOGIES from Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Indigenous Pedagogies have been used on Turtle Island (North America) to teach and transfer knowledge since time immemorial. A quick summary of the First Peoples Principles of Learning, offered by the First Nations Education Steering Committee in BC, touches on many of the topics identified in the Indigenous pedagogies module.

Given the Universal Design for Learning is about approaches to teaching and learning equitably, the following 9 principles "ultimately supports the well-being of the self, the family, the community, the land, the spirits, and the ancestors (First Nations Education Steering Committee, n.d.)".

website.

Wherever possible, these principles should be considered and adapted when helping to create a climate of inclusiveness for all students in a classroom, but in particular, for First Nations, Métis or Inuit students.

Utilizing UDL Principles

The goal of UDL is to support learners to become masterful learners in the way that meets their learning goals and needs. As stated in section 6.1, "Every decision we make, as educators, includes unconscious bias." UDL implementation helps educators to create space for indigenous pedagogies in their content, while also helping to support the innate needs and self-determination of all learners, with appropriate emphasis on the needs of Indigenous students.

Circling back to case study 2 mentioned in 6.1, there are two perspectives that should be examined. To begin with, the student who is far from home and does not feel a connection with the course or assigned readings may utilize UDL by using action and expression. This student could benefit from using multimedia to seek out various forms of Indigenized course content. For example: Isaac Murdoch, Storyteller on YouTube.

The faculty member who is experiencing discomfort about their own qualifications to teach Indigenous elements could use UDL engagement to begin building competency with Indigenous knowledges. By using engagement with Indigenous knowledge holders, faculty will have practiced representation, action, and expression guidelines but with a focus on Indigenous knowledges and community which in turn will help the Indigenous student experience learner success.

The professor can increase their own awareness of other supports that do not operate at the institutional level by seeking out post-secondary institutions (the local college may have resources and support) for advice or reaching out to other organizations. Organizations such as Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC) offer great programming, resources and support with the general public who feel the same way as the professor. Educators can get started by observing what other post-secondary institutes including colleges are doing as well as boards of education (they usually have an Indigenous consultant for Indigenous curriculum and pedagogies).

OFIFC would be able to provide support to the professor by possibly offering programming in order for the professor to feel comfortable and confident to introduce Indigenous elements to the course. For example: writing a respectful land acknowledgement would consist of learning about the land that the institution is situated on and how that history came to be.

OFIFC would also be able to help the professor seek out and invite an Indigenous knowledge holder to guest teach. For example: teachings about the medicine wheel would require an Indigenous knowledge holder because those teachings are so vast, broad and each First Nation would have a different version of the teachings according to geographical location.

Building reciprocal relationships with organizations such as Indigenous student centres, Friendship centres, other post secondary institutes (colleges) and Indigenous communities will provide what the professor needs so that when this scenario happens again, they will be prepared with authentic resources and support.

Other common Indigenous education related challenges related to resources that the professor should be aware of include: access to transportation, access to affordable texts, access to reliable technology and access to safe spaces.

Colonialism and the Indian Act have created systemic barriers that continually ignore Indigenous knowledge and voices. To combat systemic barriers, professors can implement UDL Guidelines to provide options to learners to reduce barriers and support a more holistic learning environment. For example, assessment submission options that allow for storytelling, deliberate opportunities for reflection throughout content, consistent space to engage previous personal and generational knowledge. Educators can also hold their institutions accountable by actively engaging the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and becoming an ally of Indigenous peoples and Indigenous knowledge.

A Word of Advice:
The professor should never ask an Indigenous student to do this work. It is not the student's responsibility to educate the professor!

You've Got This! Helping Students Expect to Succeed

As Henry Ford once observed, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." His perceptive remark neatly summarizes an important principle that applies to teaching. The best way to lead students to expect success is to structure the course so that they can succeed, and then demonstrate throughout the course that they will succeed if they work hard and persist even when the going gets tough.

FEATURED COLLECTION

Fostering Diversity & Inclusion

Whether you're teaching in a classroom or online, fostering community and inclusion in your class is key to student engagement and collaborative learning. In this collection of articles, we explore ways to practice inclusive teaching, to encourage meaningful connection and communication, and to help students care about learning during an age of significant distraction.

Inclusive teaching is not easy. It means digging deeper into why imbalances in participation, success, and completion exist. To adopt inclusive pedagogy, instructors necessarily engage in examining their own bias and awareness. In this article, we consider our responsibility, as educators, to practice inclusive teaching, and cover various techniques and methods for doing so.

It's common knowledge for any educator who has taught online that it can be a significant challenge for students who are learning online to develop feelings of connection with their peers and teacher. Feelings of isolation when learning online have been around for as long as online learning has existed. In this article, we examine three key ways to combat that sense of isolation and encourage meaningful peer interaction.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its surrounding political climate find us all in a time of crisis. Teachers and students alike are often caring for family members, friends, and themselves. It seems simple common sense that students who really care about what they are learning will invest the time and effort required to learn it well and remember it longer. So how do we help students focus their care on learning, during a crisis, during an age of significant distraction?

In CAST's Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice, assessment is defined as "the process of gathering information about a learner's performance to make educational decisions" (Salvia & Ysseldyke, 2009). Universal Design for Learning (UDL) encourages "assessment by design," but what does that mean specifically for educators?

How can you use the UDL framework to design and reflect on assessments-whether the assessments are through remote learning environments or in a face-to-face experience?

UDL Tips for Assessment:

Align assessments to learning goals.

Offer authentic opportunities for assessment.

Assess engagement as well as content knowledge.

Include frequent formative assessments.

Reduce unnecessary barriers to access.

Support learner variability through flexible assessments.

Use and share rubrics to clarify expectations.

Involve learners in assessing their learning progress.

Reflect on summative assessments for future design.

Build communities of practice that support reflective design.

Designing your course with opportunities for students to engage meaningfully with you, the material and each other is important for learning and helps maintain student motivation.

When engaging students, keep these best practices in mind:

Link to clear goals and outcomes: Make sure there are clear purposes and outcomes for any student-to-student interaction. How does this activity help them meet course outcomes or prepare for other assignments? Provide the students with clear instructions and expectations, particularly if this is a new activity or mode of collaboration.

Use asynchronous tools when possible: Having students participate asynchronously enables them to reflect more on their contributions while also working on their written communication skills. In addition, bandwidth requirements for discussion boards are far lower than for live video tools. Activities like sharing annotations on readings via Perusall or engaging in peer review via PEAR can also engage students in one another's work. Live chat and live office hours provide a way to connect with individual students synchronously ,but be sure to provide asynchronous alternatives for those students whose schedule, time zone, internet connection prevents them from connecting with you, your TA or other students .

Build in simple accountability: Find ways to make sure students are accountable for the work they do in any discussions or collaborations. Assigning points for discussion posts can be tedious, so some instructors ask for reflective statements where students detail their contributions and reflect on what they learned from the conversation. Another option is for groups to post a summary of their work.

Clarify expectations: Activities such as online discussions may be new for students, and they may need additional guidance. Providing a clear purpose for the collaborative activity can help keep group behaviours and discussions professional, as can reminding students not to write something they would not feel comfortable saying in person.

Provide opportunities for informal interaction. Engaging in students in course-related activities is critical to their success, however, students also benefit - both academically and socially - from less formal interaction in their courses, particularly when they cannot connect in-person.

Research has shown that "the extent to which students in online learning environments perceive themselves as being socially connected to their peers appears to be a key factor in predicting online course successes" (Biocca, 2003; Kreijns, 2004). Indeed, those who "lack interaction with the instructor and other students, and feel isolated from the class are more likely to drop the course" (Bickle, 2018).

Foster more informal communication and social interactions among students:

Create an "unstructured" discussion board just for students to talk about things unrelated to the course. Some instructors refer to such a discussion board as the "virtual lounge." Students may need to be reminded to be professional.

Facilitate or encourage online study groups for those who are interested.

Transcribe your Recordings in Office 365

# data[].attributes.subject
Transcribe your Recordings in Office 365

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Record directly in Word

Upload an audio file

Important: Users with Microsoft 365 subscriptions can transcribe unlimited minutes of uploaded audio using the transcribe feature. For more information, refer to Unlock unlimited upload minutes.

Note: Transcribe is not available for GCC/GCC-H/DOD customers.

You can record directly in Word while taking notes in the canvas and then transcribe the recording. Word transcribes in the background as you record; you won't see text on the page as you would when dictating. You'll see the transcript after you save and transcribe the recording.

1. Make sure you're signed into Microsoft 365, using the new Microsoft Edge or Chrome.

3. If it's your first time to transcribe, give the browser permission to use your mic. There might be a dialog that pops up in the browser or you may have to go to the browser settings.

In the new Microsoft Edge: ... > Settings > Site permissions > Microphone > Allow " https://[your company URL]...sharepoint.com"

In Chrome: ... > Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Microphone > Allow " https://[your company URL]...sharepoint.com"

Tips:

Be careful to set the correct microphone input on your device, otherwise results may be disappointing. For example, if your computer's microphone input is set to your headset mic based on the last time you used it, it won't work well for picking up an in-person meeting.

If you want to record and transcribe a virtual call, don't use your headset. That way, the recording can pick up the sound coming out of your device.

4. Wait for the pause icon to be outlined in blue and the timestamp to start incrementing to let you know that recording has begun.

5. Start talking or begin a conversation with another person. Speak clearly.

6. Pause recording by selecting the pause icon.

7. Resume recording by selecting the microphone icon.

8. Transcription may take a while depending on your internet speed. Keep the Transcribe pane open while the transcription is being made. Feel free to do other work or switch browser tabs or applications and come back later.

You can upload a pre-recorded audio file and then transcribe the recording.

1. Make sure you're signed into Microsoft 365, using the new Microsoft Edge or Chrome.

3. Choose an audio file from the file picker. Transcribe currently supports .wav, .mp4, .m4a, .mp3 formats.

Your transcript is associated with the document it's attached to until you remove it. If you close and reopen the pane or close and reopen the document, the transcript remains saved with the document.

You can interact with the transcript in a few different ways.

Access the audio file

The audio file, whether recorded or uploaded, is saved to the Transcribed Files folder in OneDrive.

Play back the audio

Use the controls at the top of the Transcribe pane to play back your audio. The relevant transcript section highlights as it plays.

Relabel a speaker or edit a section

The transcription service identifies and separates different speakers and labels them "Speaker 1," "Speaker 2," etc. You can edit the speaker label and change all occurrences of it to something else. You can also edit the content of a section to correct any issues in transcription.

Add a transcript to the document

Unlike Dictate, Transcribe doesn't automatically add the audio to the document. Instead, from the Transcribe pane, you can add the entire transcript, or specific sections of it, to the document.

To delete the transcript or create a new one, select New transcription. You can only store one transcript per document; if you create a new transcript for the document, the current transcript will be deleted. However, any transcript sections you've added to the document remain in the document, but not in the Transcribe pane.

Rename a recorded audio file

You can rename an audio file that has been recorded.

Find your recording, then select Actions > Rename and rename the recording file.

Note: The Transcribed Files folder looks different depending on whether your OneDrive account is for a business or personal.

You can share the transcript with someone in two ways:

You can also share the transcript and enable playback of the audio file in the Transcribe pane:

Also share the Word document as usual.

Now users with a Microsoft 365 subscription can transcribe unlimited minutes of uploaded audio using the transcribe feature. Previously, the limit was 300 minutes per month per user. There's been no charge for live recordings, and you can still transcribe unlimited minutes of live recordings.

Note: For enterprise licenses: Unlimited transcription for uploaded audio is available to enterprise customers upon request.

How this change affects your organization

If you request access for your organization, unlimited transcription for uploaded audio is available to everyone in your organization as a preview experience. A limit for uploaded audio may be reintroduced in the future, with the option to purchase additional minutes based on your usage.

How to prepare

Fill out this uncapping upload minutes request form to enable the feature for your tenant. To learn more, email VoiceTransFC@microsoft.com.

Note for everyone

This is a preview experience and does not require any additional costs or technical changes and doesn't have any negative performance impact for the end users.

After the preview period, there may be a cap for uploaded audio with the option to purchase additional minutes based on your usage. You will be notified well in advance of any pricing provisions so that you understand the implications and associated monetary costs and can make an informed decision.

As of now, this preview experience is not for individual users; it is only available at the tenant level. Everyone in the tenant will have access to it if it has been enabled.

Book Information

Book Description

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) project was a collaboration between 10 universities and colleges across Ontario to develop a 6-module open educational resource for post-secondary educators. The open courseware provides educators with an introduction to Universal Design for Learning, the responsibilities of educators under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code, considerations for equity, diversity and inclusion in educational settings, and Indigenous pedagogies and their relationship to UDL. The resource is designed as an accessible entrance point for all PSE educators and an invitation to learn more about these critically important topics. It is also designed to be used as the basis for local training professional development on these topics, which may be recognised in many ways, including as a microcredential.

Although much of the research is based on elementary and secondary aged students it can be interesting to read. Also you will notice that much of the research has its roots in providing support to students with various disabilities. The emphasis is shifting from "accessibility" and meeting the needs of a few to "access" for all. We all benefit when we think outside a single viewpoint.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
UDL is based upon the most widely replicated finding in educational research: learners are highly variable in their response to instruction. In virtually every report of research on instruction or intervention, individual differences are not only evident in the results; they are prominent. However,…

I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.

Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.

Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".
