Unlocking the Potential: Open Educational Practices and the Digital Transformation of Work-Integrated Learning Experiences
March 5, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm BST
This presentation delves into the transformative potential of open education in dismantling barriers for experiential learning within language minority contexts and in fostering an inclusive educational landscape.
We will first explore the concepts of experiential learning, work-integrated learning (WIL), and open educational resources (OER), as well as provide context surrounding the creation of our OERs, namely that this work has been spearheaded under the Consortium d’apprentissage expérientiel francophone de l’Ontario (CAPFO) program of eCampusOntario.
We will then dive into two OERs created within the context of CAPFO. The first OER will showcase our survey results from the WIL CAPFO Report in 2023 that canvas trends and challenges in the franco-ontarian sector. These insights will be complemented by an exploration of the WIL Framework, a strategic tool developed within the CAPFO context to bolster educator engagement.
By sharing our experiences, outcomes, and collaborative frameworks, we aim to inspire educators and institutions to embrace the power of open education in cultivating enriching experiential learning environments, especially within language minority settings.
We are looking to share valuable insights and contribute to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of open education, experiential learning, and linguistic minorities to pave the way for a more accessible and inclusive educational future.
This presentation will help the audience explore the power of open education in breaking down barriers for experiential education in a language minority context.
