An initial cross-campus cohort of Open Learning Digital Fluency Fellows will build local strategic capacity for humanizing online learning experiences, while contributing to a larger eCampus Ontario-funded Humanizing Learning project with six partner institutions across the province.
Led by a collaborative UWindsor team of Nick Baker, Dave Cormier, and Bonnie Stewart, the fellows will engage in a series of multi-institutional conversations that focus on practices for humanizing online learning. They will bring aspects of the provincial project conversations back to the campus community: look for their reflections and takeaways on the Open Learning blog throughout fall 2021:
