Reset 2047 est un jeu narratif qui offre aux joueurs la possibilité de s’initier au droit des jeux vidéo. Il s’agit de la transformation du cours DRC4731 - Droit des jeux vidéo enseigné à la Section de droit civil de l’université d’Ottawa.
L’industrie du jeu vidéo qui a émergé à partir des années 1980 a connu une croissance exceptionnelle au cours des 30 dernières années. En 2018, ce secteur a généré un total de 119,6 milliards de dollars, soit plus que l’industrie cinématographique. L’Amérique du Nord est une des régions les plus dynamiques en ce qui concerne la création et la consommation de jeux vidéo. À mesure que ce secteur s’est développé, de nombreuses questions juridiques ont émergé et il s’agit aujourd’hui d’un champ du droit au sein duquel l’implication des juristes est primordiale.
Dans le cadre de cette aventure interactive, les joueurs aborderont le droit des jeux vidéo en utilisant trois points d’entrée :
1. La création des jeux vidéo : il s’agira ici de s’interroger sur la nature des jeux vidéo et sur les droits de propriété associés à ces créations. Les joueurs exploreront également les projets de modification des jeux par les communautés de joueurs et leurs conséquences juridiques.
2. La commercialisation et l’exploitation des jeux vidéo : Les joueurs traiteront ici des règles en matière de mise sur le marché des jeux vidéo et de la protection du public (classification des jeux vidéo). Ils exploreront également certains modèles d’exploitation de jeux et les problèmes juridiques qu’ils posent (en particulier le cas des jeux proposant aux joueuses et joueurs d’acheter des objets mystères, du « loot »).
3. La consommation de jeux vidéo : Les joueurs s'intéressent ici à la pratique des jeux vidéo par les joueuses et joueurs. Ils étudieront notamment l’univers du sport électronique et les pratiques contractuelles dans ce domaine. Ils se pencheront sur la pratique du streaming et les droits des joueuses et joueurs. Enfin, ils traiteront du harcèlement en ligne et des matières d’y remédier.
Reset 2047 est un jeu narratif composé d’un prologue, de neuf chapitres et de plusieurs conclusions en fonction des choix effectués par les joueurs durant l’aventure.
Au cours de cette aventure interactive, les joueurs sont amenés à consulter des documents propres au droit des jeux vidéo, à compléter des questionnaires en lien avec ces documents et à effectuer des choix cruciaux qui influencent le déroulement du scénario.

Re•Vision Story-Making is an open access on-line story-making space for secondary and postsecondary instructors and researchers who want to engage with story in their teaching or arts-based research.

Here you will be guided through the steps of Re•Vision’s story-making process, from brainstorming and focusing your story ideas to screening your story. Along the way you can engage with video tutorials on the specific technical elements of producing a multimedia story and/or do a deep dive into further reading on how storytelling can make change in our lives and our communities.

This is a free and shareable tool. The Re•Vision Centre for Art and Social Justice at the University of Guelph is home to a number of research projects dedicated to exploring ways that a range of communities can use arts-informed research to advance social inclusion, well-being, and justice.

uk: Гуманітарні науки

description:
This scenario-based learning activity was designed to provide learners an opportunity to practice various forms of allyship, in particular, as it relates to members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Too often, when we are confronted with language and behaviours that we recognize as being homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise demeaning and/or dangerous to members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, we have a tendency to retreat into ourselves instead of speaking up in the moment. Many of us have had the experience of later reflecting on something we witnessed, or participated in, and wishing we had said or done something in the moment. But it can be hard to do that if we haven't ever had the opportunity to practice, and that's exactly what this simulation was designed for: to provide learners with the opportunity to practice the skills needed to be an effective ally.
There are three content elements: prework, scenarios, and a debrief. The prework contains foundational learning designed to prepare learners to engage in the second element, the scenarios. The third element is the debrief. Facilitators are encouraged to review the included facilitation guide to prepare for this final element, which is critical to consolidate learning.
Learning Outcomes: By the end of the simulation activity, learners will 1.	Recognize the ways in which members of the 2SLGBTIA+ community continue to face social and systemic oppression--2. Reflect on their own intersectional identities to describe how privilege and oppression can change in different contexts based on those identities--3. Identify statements and acts that prevent the inclusion and decrease the safety of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in a range of social contexts--4. Identify and practice various allyship strategies to support intentional and active engagement in the creation and maintenance of positive spaces--5. Prepare for a facilitated discussion with fellow learners by responding to self-reflection questions throughout the simulation activity.

The Ready-to-use 3D Emergency Department Assets is a repository of healthcare 3D assets curated by health care professionals and educators that will be useful for educators in a metaverse environment.

Simulation is a superior method to safely build and sharpen skills of learners within healthcare curricula, but adoption has been limited by costly equipment (i.e. mannequins). There are few accessible environments where learners can easily emulate patient care spaces or participate as actors to improve these spaces.

Our goal was to build assets that could be used in a metaverse-version of the Emergency Department (ED.)  With these assets, users can implement them into their virtual learning environments where multiple users can interact, share information, learn about cases, and move between several virtual patient rooms.

The traditional approach to working with these assets is in a live environment. With the use of these Open Educational Resource 3D assets, learners can engage with the 3D world and explore an immersive, interactive experience when incorporated into a metaverse environment.  These assets can be used by anyone without the additional cost of creating 3D assets.

The 3D Emergency Department Media Library will be beneficial for educators in a metaverse environment and contains assets for the following areas in a hospital: Intermediate Zone, Rapid Assessment Zone, Central corridor with staff interaction spaces, Radiology Suite, Resuscitation Room, Acute Care Monitored Beds, Hospital Waiting Room and Lobby, a Nurse Station and Triage Offices.

The voices in the title of this book can redress the gaps in archival institutional memory. These archives can include the stories of the voiceless, such as animals, to provide a more comprehensive record of activist groups’ impact on society.

This book is designed in two parts.

Part 1 describes the theoretical grounding for the ideas in this book, stemming from archival concepts and theories and theorists whilst combining sources at the intersection of activism and academia.

Part 2 applies continuum modelling to a new kind of archival appraisal specific to activist communities. With interactive exercises to challenge students and activists to help break down the complexity and logic of refined versions of the Records Continuum Model. Templates are included for use and re-use by activists, archivists and community groups to develop and adapt for their own context.

Shared Voices is a student-centered cultural anthropology mini textbook built with an equity lens. We are excited to share this with you all. This book attempts to address the lack of current, reliable, and relevant resources for introductory anthropology courses that center equity and anti-racism.

We set out to create a culturally responsive and inclusive textbook with an anti-racist and global citizenry perspective. We center marginalized voices, stories, and community. This text is a starting point for any introductory anthropology course recognizing that cultural change is constant and the familiar is cousin to the weird and unusual. A work in progress, this text aims to provide students an opportunity to build content as they explore the topics within.

Designed as a main textbook for social work courses at the bachelor’s and master’s level or for social work practitioners in the field, this work moves beyond a traditional medicalized and segregated approach (i.e., chapters organized around impairments) to the exploration of disability-specific populations, instead taking a more intersectional approach in discussing specific service areas and practice issues while weaving in stories about the lived experiences of disabled people with a range of social identities. These issues include parenting, mass incarceration, ableism, aging, and employment, among many others.

A key goal of this book is to introduce an intersectionality-informed and critically culturally competent approach to anti-oppressive social work practice with disabled people, primarily in the United States. To do this, we present an innovative practice model for social workers to use in their work with disabled people and communities, which is incorporated throughout the book in a variety of practice considerations. The main themes woven throughout our practice model are intersectionality theory, critical cultural competence, and anti-oppressive practice.

This resource is written for an introductory or intermediate-level college genetics course. The work begins with an exploration of DNA and genome structure, including landmark experiments that contributed to our early understanding of the relationship between DNA, genes, and traits. It continues with the central dogma of molecular genetics: the molecular mechanisms that allow cells to use the information stored in DNA. It also discusses the cause and effect of mutation. The molecular processes are then linked back to classical transmission genetics experiments.

Transmission genetics, including traditional topics like multigenic inheritance, linkage, and pedigree analysis, is explored with an understanding that the relationships between genotype and phenotype depends on the molecular processes affecting gene expression. This work concludes with topics that synthesize information from both transmission and molecular genetics, including epigenetics, cancer biology, and evolution.

Science is meant to be an impartial field of study, but it is nonetheless influenced by social factors that drive which research questions are pursued and that color how results are interpreted or acted upon. In this text, the fundamental concepts of genetics are described in the context of the historical and social pressures that affect the work. Examples of how these concepts are applied in human medicine, agriculture, and ecology are also explored, along with conversations of the relationship between genetics and society.

Maura Reilly defines curatorial activism as “the practice of organizing art exhibitions with the principle aim of ensuring that certain constituencies of artists are no longer ghettoized or excluded from the master narratives of art.” We can expand that definition to include not only “art” but also “cultural heritage” more broadly. When first-year writing students engage in curatorial activism, they directly address marginalization and related issues, giving them an opportunity to explore not only the heritage of these issues but their own stances, experiences, and beliefs while also delving into curation and exhibit-making. More importantly, this approach emphasizes how writing can address those issues and seek to rectify exclusions from cultural heritage spaces. Students can begin to understand the impact that their writing can have on others and what they can convey when they write both effectively and passionately.

This textbook, Heritages of Change: Curatorial Activism and First-Year Writing, includes principles of writing and information literacy through the lenses of curatorial activism, cultural heritage, and curation/exhibition. Heritage topics that students are introduced to include (but are not limited to): anti-racism, #MeToo, indigenous peoples, women/gender/LGBTQIA+, climate change, etc. They gain a broader understanding of cultural heritage and heritages of change, particularly disability heritage, in general in order to apply the concepts through their writing. This textbook presents these topics, but more specifically how to communicate about and research them.

This OER asks students to think about how they think and how they know what they know. Students will start by challenging assumptions and flexing those critical thinking skills we all have—not just in an abstract way but in a practical, everyday way. Students will explore the branches of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics, by asking questions like: “Where did we come from?” “How do we know right from wrong?” “Who are we?” “Why are we here?” “How should we live?” “What does "a good life" mean?” and “Why do bad things happen?”

Literary Studies for a Sustainable Future: An Introductory Course with Social Justice and Ecocriticism Intersections propels readers into the 21st century by providing intellectual spaces for both learners and educators within the realism of the web of life. Learners have opportunities to become virtuosos in ecocriticism and literary studies.

Inspired by Black feminist and legal theorist Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw’s work on intersectionality, Indigenous storyteller and novelist Leslie Marmon Silko, and American biologist Rachel Carson, learners navigate traditional and innovative literary studies approaches to critique and understand ancient world mythology and Indigenous literature, folklore since Aesop’s Fables to the Arabian Nights, Sappho’s poetics and the feminist romance, and early modern satirical theater of Ben Johnson and William Shakespeare.

Teaching and learning experiences throughout the book challenge readers to approach the study of nature in texts as literary criticism known as ecocriticism. The aim of ecocriticism is to decenter typical anthropocentric interpretative tendencies. Learners are more informed in literary studies as a multifaceted academic journey into how texts represent human communities within landscapes and lifeforms.

This textbook opens with role models in the literary world to introduce innovative ecocritical interpretative approaches in Black, Chicano, and Indigenous Studies. Its introductory sections provide different literary texts and modalities like short film clips, folk songs, and poetry that are informed by key terms and inquiries on the correlations between the environment and instances of social injustices. These learning opportunities potentially unveil an intersectionality between literary studies and concerns with social justice that are important to every community, like those identified in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Following these initial sections on critical theory, the book is organized in three parts with formative and end of chapter assignments for both in-class and online instruction.

This Open Educational Resource (OER) carries a significant responsibility by presenting statistics through an equity lens. The metaphor of a lens is used intentionally–as the glasses one wears can have a profound effect on what one sees. The book encourages further inspection of the ways in which data is collected, interpreted, and analyzed on a variety of social justice issues, such as health disparities, hunger and food insecurity, homelessness, behavioral health (mental health and substance use), and incarceration of males of color. It also attempts to reveal how the misuse of data can reinforce inequities, for example, by stigmatizing people and labeling neighborhoods as high poverty, violent, and having poor educational opportunities. Whether an intended or unintended consequence, irresponsible data use can contribute to racist impressions of people and communities.

Additionally, there are thousands of students studying animal science, biology, education, economics, medicine, nursing, public health, psychology, and sociology who thought they would be free of mathematics and suddenly discover they have to take a statistics course in order to graduate. Even students who are majoring in the most mathematical disciplines like physics, engineering and mathematics itself, somehow have an aversion to statistics. Regardless of your race/ethnicity, income status, gender or your zip code, taking a statistics course is accompanied by feelings of anxiety, dread and even panic. This book lessens the fear of statistics by transferring statistics knowledge to the real-world, and applying statistical concepts and procedures to social justice data. In this way, the student is exposed to both statistics and its application to social justice scenarios.

The essence of this book is that quantitative skills are important for studying and understanding social injustices and inequalities. Its premise is that keeping compassion as a core value of data equity analysis changes our lens. The book helps us to stop seeing Statistics as abstract and inhuman but rather as a science that can help create a culture of empathy and understanding of social justice issues. Having this perspective encourages us to develop sustainable solutions, prioritize the well-being of individuals, families, neighborhoods and whole communities, and just simply work towards a more equitable and just world.

This resource has been prepared for one semester of an introductory-level college biology course with foundational themes of evolution, ecology, and comparative body systems. The first unit explores the origins and defining characteristics of living things and compares the earliest and simplest life forms with more complex cellular life. One of the common features of all life is that it requires energy; the next section explores the why and how of energy acquisition and relationships between the metabolic pathways. After a primer on photosynthesis and energy production via respiration, the next few sections delve into the form and physiology of plants and animals, focusing on water and food transport in plants, and in the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and reproductive systems of diverse animals. These systems were selected to serve as an introduction to animal physiology because they can be easily interleaved with other core course concepts such as energy flow and nutrient cycling through ecosystems, population genetics, bioenergetics, or speciation. The final sections of the text provide a basis for understanding evolutionary change, biodiversity, and the history and relatedness of life on Earth.

Understanding Organisms is an adapted textbook remixed from a variety of openly licensed sources, with additional content introduced by the author. Throughout the chapters, embedded media and special content boxes linking a diverse collection of web-based resources (e.g., popular science articles, podcasts, interactive tutorials, simulations, etc.) promote engagement and independent learning. Many of these highlight the work of biologists from diverse backgrounds or make connections between the biology content and real-world concerns. Chapter content was adapted to improve accuracy and inclusivity in topics such as sexual reproduction, sex determination, and sexual selection. Each section includes interactive H5P content in the form of no-stakes practice activities with instant feedback that allows students to self-check their understanding while engaging with the text.

Why Do I Have to Take This Course? A Guide to General Education developed out of many years of thinking about general education courses and curriculums. We, as university personnel, do not always succeed in explaining why we have certain requirements. Even though these courses make up a significant percentage of our college careers, there is not often time set aside to talk about general education and explore its purpose and goals. When we do not know the reason why we are doing something, it can sometimes lead to apathy and even resentment. Once we have an idea of the purpose, then we can start to appreciate and learn. It is worthwhile to spend some time thinking about these purposes, both “official” and personal ones, in order to maximize student learning.

This textbook helps students systematically study how general education requirements are developed, their history, post-graduation value, etc. It emphasizes exploration of the significance of individual learning outcomes, especially through the lens of John Lewis’ philosophy of “good, necessary trouble.” For instructors adopting this book, it is designed to assign in its entirety or in parts as instructors can choose to emphasize relevant learning outcomes. It is also designed for use by advisors, especially with advisees who express concerns over taking certain requirements.

description: Created for a first-year university course, this linear algebra textbook takes an unusual approach: it introduces vector spaces at the outset and deals with linear systems only after a thorough introduction to vector spaces. This approach is based on the authors' experience over the past 25 years that students often need more time to master vector spaces while traditional textbooks relegate the topic to the end of the course. In this way, these new notions at the heart of linear algebra that are often considered abstract and difficult in an introductory course can then be used in the rest of the course as well as in different contexts.

Cette approche est fondée sur l’expérience des auteurs ayant observé au cours des 25 dernières années que les étudiantes et étudiants ont souvent besoin davantage de temps pour maîtriser les espaces vectoriels alors que les manuels traditionnels relèguent plutôt le sujet à la fin du cours. De cette façon, ces nouvelles notions au coeur de l’algèbre linéaire qui sont souvent considérées comme abstraites et difficiles dans un cours d’introduction peuvent ensuite être utilisées dans le reste du cours ainsi que différents contextes.

L’expertise du juriste ou de l’avocat ne s’arrête pas à la maîtrise du droit. Il doit non seulement pouvoir déterminer les règles de droit applicables dans une situation donnée, mais aussi savoir les utiliser et les présenter pour convaincre un juge du bien-fondé de la position qu’il défend. Dans cette veine, il est nécessaire de pouvoir argumenter de manière pertinente et convaincante.

Il existe de nombreuses manières d’argumenter. Sans chercher à toutes les présenter, nous tenterons ici de vous présenter quelques éléments pour vous aider à construire vos premiers argumentaires juridiques.

description: This volume is a result of our annual event, Every Teacher is a Language Teacher, held in 2021 and 2022 at the Faculty of Education of the University of Ottawa. Every year, we organize professional learning workshops for teacher candidates in our program. We invite seasoned teachers and young researchers (many of whom are also teachers!) doing their graduate work at the faculty to share methods, ideas, strategies and activities. Together, our community explores how to work with English and French language learners, as well as learners who come to the classroom with multiple languages in their repertoire. As research and experience have shown us, accessing students’ funds of linguistic and cultural knowledge is a powerful way to include students in the curriculum and center their contributions, identities, and experiences in the learning process. As a community of committed educators, we practice teacher learning with this same mindset – we draw from the personal and professional experiences of our guest presenters and teacher candidate attendees. Together, we speak to the social, cultural and political issues that matter in the classroom and share cutting-edge practices. The chapters in this book are intended for teachers who may or may not have a language teaching specialization. So as to promote equitable access to knowledge, we asked our presenters to write chapters based on their workshops and the experiences they had with our teacher candidates. They write in direct, accessible language and draw on the literature about language learning and teaching grounding their work in tried and tested initiatives. As such, for the reader, we hope the chapters will provide insight into what occurred during the workshops and how they can benefit from these professional learning sessions.

description:
This Handbook describes an action research process for assessing student learning outcomes using faculty-led communities of practice.

Post-secondary institutions are often called to identify strengths and areas for improvement, to implement changes, and assess the impact of those changes — colloquially known as “closing the loop” or “closed-loop assessment”. While institutions aspire to close the loop, little evidence exists that their aspirations are fulfilled. Closing the loop requires a well-articulated, detailed, and reflexive process. If successfully implemented, this process can increase the likelihood of improved student outcomes. Post-secondary institutions collect a plethora of direct and indirect student learning data and are increasingly reporting out on assessment findings; however, they frequently stop short of acting on the results gathered and then evaluating interventions that are implemented.

SAIL responds to the call to “close the loop”.

The SAIL Practitioner Handbook is based on our experience at Thompson Rivers University—an open access, teaching and research university located in the interior of British Columbia. The methodology, process, and resources described in this Handbook are designed with the local context in mind. We encourage you to borrow and adapt our methodology to develop a process that best fits your institution’s needs. The primary audience for the SAIL Practitioner Handbook is quality assurance practitioners and educational developers.

description: The Spring 2023 issue presents research and guidance on topics related to student self-reflection, participatory learning, and returning to the in-person learning following the COVID-19 pandemic. The first article takes a critical approach to understanding pedagogy with adult learners by involving students in the creation of course syllabi as a way to challenge ideologies related the roles of instructor and students. The second article blends research and narrative to explore how the experiences of the COVID-19 shift to online learning can be translated to in-person learning environments to redefine what participation looks like and to advance faculty collaboration. The third article continues to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to opportunities for improved course development and delivery as faculty and students return to the classroom, particularly in the areas of communication, equity, and inclusion. The fourth article presents a selection of prompts used to promote student learning through written reflection tasks and describes how such tasks can be applied to various teaching contexts. The fifth article describes the use of a digital poverty simulation with business students and examines how the activity affected the students’ attitudes toward poverty.
