Ten Radical Ways Assessment Is Changing
From Contact North | Nord teachonline.ca
More and more, faculty and instructors are thinking differently about assessment. They are seeing it as a continuous rather than occasional process, a collaborative activity focusing on verifying knowledge, competence and capabilities rather than status within a group of learners. Technology is enabling a different way to practice assessment. Read More

Online tools for designing online activities:
- Scrumblr.ca Scrumblr is a simple (but not particularly flexible) activity that can be used to generate quick, synchronous activities for students. Here is an example of an activity at scrumblr.ca/lobes to quickly review functional neuroanatomy. FYI no one at all needs an account to use Scrumbr so it’s FIPPA compliant!
- Hypothes.is Hypothes.is is a webtool that allows people to annotate online text. Faculty can ask students to read online articles (including blogs, news articles and peer-reviewed publications) and provide commentary, translate into lay terms, ask questions, or link to related resources. This can be an effective tool to motivate students to extract meaning from online texts.
- Having students build concepts maps for a particular concept, lecture or module is really effective for helping students work through ideas and recognize broad connections between concepts.
One option for faculty is to use Bubbl.us. While Bubbl.us accounts are not FIPPA compliant, students and faculty can use the platform to generate and download concept maps without providing any contact information (i.e. no account necessary). However, maps cannot be saved during (or after) development. - Etherpad – ETUG The 12 Apps of 2020: one app each month

OFFICE OF INDIGENIZATION
1996 was a significant year for Indigenous Peoples in Canada. The last Indian Residential School was closed and National Aboriginal Day (known today as National Indigenous Peoples Day) began. After consultation with Indigenous Peoples, then Governor General Roméo LeBlanc, announced that June 21, the arrival of summer solstice, would become the annual date to celebrate Indigenous cultures and heritage and recognize the considerable contributions made by First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples. Summer solstice is a sacred time for Indigenous Peoples, representing an important seasonal shift of light, growth and abundance. This period is aptly symbolic for the shedding of dark colonial traumas and for sharing in the vitality of distinct and diverse histories, cultures, languages, and traditions of our First Peoples.
Academics is one important space to illuminate Indigenous knowledges and perspectives and include Indigenous authors, researchers and content creators. We recommend checking out the vast array of Indigenous resources provided by JIBC’s library.
