The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) project was a collaboration between 10 universities and colleges across Ontario to develop a 6-module open educational resource for post-secondary educators. The open courseware provides educators with an introduction to Universal Design for Learning, the responsibilities of educators under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code, considerations for equity, diversity and inclusion in educational settings, and Indigenous pedagogies and their relationship to UDL. The resource is designed as an accessible entrance point for all PSE educators and an invitation to learn more about these critically important topics. It is also designed to be used as the basis for local training professional development on these topics, which may be recognised in many ways, including as a microcredential.

Following in the footsteps of the Ontario Extend: Empowered Educator program is its predecessor, Ontario Extend: Liberated Learners. Whereas the original program worked to prepare educators to be better able to teach in a digital realm, the Liberated Learner seeks to do the same for the learners themselves. As such, the project has four modules: The Learner, The Navigator, The Collaborator, and The Technologist. Taken together, the modules aim to enable a well-rounded and ready-for-almost-anything post-secondary learner.

The program comes with badges, authentic activities, a takeout menu, and it even has its own bespoke set of chill beats to study to, created by Ontario Post-Secondary students.

This project is made possible with funding by the Government of Ontario and through eCampusOntario’s support of the Virtual Learning Strategy. To learn more about the Virtual Learning Strategy visit: https://vls.ecampusontario.ca.

This toolkit was crafted utilizing the knowledge gained from:

2023/24 Saskatchewan Polytechnic Prince Albert Campus On Site Composting Project
Consultations with Selkirk and Dawson College regarding their Food Waste Diversion projects that utilized a Dehydrator and Vermicomposting systems.
The knowledge of Keri Sapsford, owner of the Backyard and Compost Corner, who operates a windrow system to Compost for her clients in Prince Albert, and was brought on as a Composting expert to manage this project.

Through this toolkit we hope to promote the use of on site composting at sites where composting services are not available. As Composting can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, divert waste from the landfill and utilize a beneficial nutrient resource that would otherwise go to waste it only makes sense to compost as much as possible. The benefits also expand to those who interact with your site as they become aware of nature-based solutions that will regenerate our land and economy.
