Cascadia Open Education Summit

◦Learn how this project was developed through community consultation and collaboration  
◦Understand how collaboratively-built modules can create practical, personalized content for your community.

This presentation will cover the development, creation, and takeaways of an Open Learning Module focused on soft skills for Indigenous trades students.

The approach to building content was a collaborative model which involved students, Indigenous services, Elders, employers, the Learning and Teaching Centre, and the Library.

Together these teams focused on the best ways to help students develop their skills in communication, conflict resolution, assertiveness, relationship-building, question-asking, and more.
After providing an overview of the project, there will be a discussion of the project’s successes, takeaways, and next steps, followed by a brief question period.
