SUMMARY:Using PebblePad to Support Applied & Reflective Learning
DESCRIPTION:PebblePad Workshop Summer Series 2025 \n  \nWorkshop #1: Using PebblePad to Support Applied and Reflective Learning\nThursday\, July 24\, 2025\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm | online \nFacilitator: Susan Bonham\, Langara College\n \n  \nPebblePad is a flexible platform that supports experiential\, competency-based learning across a wide range of professional programs. This workshop will highlight how Langara College uses PebblePad in clinical and practicum-based courses to help students reflect on their learning\, document applied skills\, and demonstrate readiness for professional practice. Participants will explore practical examples and consider how similar approaches can support reflection\, assessment\, and skills development in their own teaching. The session will also showcase assessment workflows and feedback tools that enhance both instructor efficiency and student learning.\n \n \nRegister now!\n \nContact Dave Smulders for more information.\n  \n\n \nAbout Our Facilitator: Susan Bonham\nI have an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from UBC’s Faculty of Education\, as well as a one-year diploma in teaching ESL from VCC. I spent six years teaching government-funded courses to immigrants and refugees before moving to Langara. At Langara\, I taught English for Academic Purposes for seven years before moving to Langara’s Educational Technology Department as an EdTech Advisor (non-instructional faculty position). All of my teaching was with adult learners\, and many of them were highly educated with many years of professional experience in their background.\n \nSince moving to Langara’s EdTech Department in 2020\, a great deal of my focus has been on ePortfolios and PebblePad. I led the PebblePad pilot that ran from 2021-2023 and have continued to be heavily involved in growing ePortfolio practice at the College since we moved past our pilot phase. Supporting and growing PebblePad use has been an incredible opportunity for me to learn about folio thinking\, experiential learning\, and authentic assessment. My experience ranges from the pedagogy (or androgogy if you prefer) of portfolio practice to an in-depth knowledge of the PebblePad platform (including the assessment side\, ATLAS). I have given workshops on the entire spectrum\, mostly to faculty but increasingly for students as well.

She was first trained as a mediator in high school and subsequently trained peer mediators\, volunteered for a community mediation centre and was a small claims court mediator. Experience in classroom teaching and a commitment to emotional intelligence led her to complete an M.A. in Social and Emotional Learning. She lived in Israel from 2000-2021 and worked as an employee of and a consultant for tens of social change and human rights organizations. Simultaneously\, she was actively engaged in Arab/Jewish and Israeli/Palestinian dialogue on the personal level and worked as a group process facilitator\, a Jewish advisor of an interfaith program and\, briefly\, as coordinator for an Israeli-Palestinian mediation program. In 2021\, Richlen completed a PhD at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel where her research focused on refugee-led organizations. Since moving to Vancouver in 2021\, she has taught courses on human rights\, ethnicity and ethnic relations\, non-violent social change\, race and ethnicity and social inequality in Canada at the University of British Columbia\, Simon Fraser University and Langara College. She currently is a member of a refugee sponsorship committee and involved in welcoming newcomers to Canada more generally. \n \n \nDr. Firoz Verjee\nFaculty\, School of Public Safety\n \nDr. Firoz Verjee is a systems engineer with over 30 years of expertise in geospatial technologies and emergency management. He has held senior technical positions at George Washington University\, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, Geneva Centre for Humanitarian Demining\, and the Aga Khan Development Network. He now serves as a full-time instructor in the Justice Institute of British Columbia’s School of Public Safety.\n \nIn Fall 2024\, Firoz introduced Artificial Intelligence as a key theme in his course ESMS 3330: Technologies in Emergency Management\, adding modules on the history\, ethics\, and practical applications of AI. \n  \n  \nDr. Sunny Mangat\nLead Faculty\, Law Enforcement Studies Program\n \nDr. Sunny Mangat is a sociologist with a PhD from the University of Roehampton. As lead faculty in the Law Enforcement Studies Program and a researcher\, she brings her curiosity and critical lens into the classroom—always asking how tools like ChatGPT can both support student learning and challenge us to think about ethics\, creativity\, and the future of higher education.\n \nHer curiosity drives her to explore big questions: why students (and people in general) are drawn to using AI\, how it is reshaping the classroom and research\, and what its long-term implications might be for society. True to form\, Sunny doesn’t just teach about AI—she experiments with it in real time. Case in point: she asked ChatGPT to help re-write this very bio\, making her both the researcher and the research subject. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMelanie Meyers and Dave Smulders– Co-Moderators\n \nMelanie and Dave bring extensive experience and a shared passion for education to their work at the Justice Institute of British Columbia’s Centre for Teaching\, Learning\, and Innovation (CTLI)\, where they support excellence in teaching and learning.\n \nMelanie has a background in Instructional Design and since joining JIBC in 2008\, she has led award-winning projects in open educational resources\, emerging technologies\, and blended learning. As Program Director\, she oversees curriculum development and represents CTLI across the institution and beyond.\n \nDave is an adult educator with nearly 30 years of experience in instructional design and faculty development. As Senior Manager of Faculty Development\, he helps instructors improve their teaching through inclusive\, engaging practices and leads professional development events throughout the year.\n \nTogether\, Mel and Dave ensure CTLI is a trusted resource for instructional design\, curriculum development\, educational technology\, and educator support—championing innovation across JIBC and the wider educational community.
