Support Truth and Reconciliation through Open Website Development

I am a professor who teaches a course titled Truth and Reconciliation. For their final projects, students explore one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action in a blog post submission. Students have the option to include their final projects on a public-facing website called Nàbowàdjige: Our Calls to Action.I am in search of an individual who would be willing to partner with me to convert students' final projects into Wordpress pages. If you are looking to build your skills with basic Wordpress functions such as creating and publishing blog posts, ensuring accessibility, readability and the like, this might be a good opportunity for you.Additionally, through your engagement with this project you'll learn more about reconciliation in Canada, accessible web design, open educational practices, and Creative Commons licensing.

Open Education Project (Faculty Led)

Positions available: 1-2I am a College-level Professor teaching at a College of Applied Arts and Technologies. I teach a course titled Truth and Reconciliation. For their final projects, students explore one of the TRC's Calls to Action in a blog-type submission. Students are invited to include their final projects on a public-facing website called Nàbowàdjige: Our Calls to Action. Submissions usually come in the form of PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. I'm looking for help converting these assignment submissions into accessible public-facing web pages, with appropriate licensing included. Some students also elect to post anonymously, so identifying information would need to be removed.

ISO Graphic Design / Creative Support

I am a faculty member at Cambrian College. This year, I partnered with a team member from our Academic Library to create a Research Workbook intended to demystify the various phases of conducting secondary research projects. Essentially, the Workbook walks learners through the process of research, from understanding a research paper assignment all the way through to the outlining and drafting phase. There is a strong focus on the why and how of accessing Library resources such as academic articles. Currently, the Research Workbook is built as a Google Doc consisting of text, images, and links to a series of explainer videos. We are interested in partnering with a creative student with graphic design / web design experience to enhance the existing content aesthetically. We are interested in applying a "trail map," "explorer" type theme. We're looking for fun, somewhat kitschy enhancements such as iconography, colour pallets, video intros, and the like to essentially take our Workbook up a notch. Our hope is that the outputs, and the Workbook as a whole, can be licensed openly, likely using a CC BY NC license (though we are open to conversations about this). We hope that this project can emulate how a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, or Web Artist would meet with a potential client, assess their needs, create a project plan, and action that plan. We can provide ongoing mentorship and touchpoints, continuous feedback, and two letteres of reference upon project completion.
