Reimagining Post-Secondary Education with Colleen Reid and Ruhina Rana

Karine Hamm (Sports Science Diploma Coordinator) and I met with Colleen Reid (Faculty Researcher and Therapeutic Recreation faculty) and Ruhina Rana (Health Sciences Research Coordinator) to discuss their ideas on the topic of Reimagining Post-Secondary Education. Colleen and Ruhina were both members of the inaugural HiPE – High Impact Practices in Education – committee. They created the committee as a support to the Office of Research and Innovation. They bring their perspective on the moral imperative we have to offer undergraduate research opportunities at Douglas College despite being a teaching intensive institution. Join our chat as we discuss how HiPE aims to re-configure post-secondary education to adapt to the changing landscape of employability.

Transcript of the Studio23 Panel: Experiential Learning and Social Change Through Projects in Studios, Labs, and Maker Spaces quote from Paula Ortiz: “I think the biggest thing is I’ve had professors mention that or teach that we should learn to embrace and learn the new technologies coming out rather than be against them. Because I read an article that came out not too long ago about the top 30 jobs that are about to be replaced by AI. And guess what, my job is on that list. So that is a little daunting when I haven’t even graduated and people are telling me that I’m going to be replaced in like the next 5, 10 years. So certain professors have been teaching students is to take, for example, something like a ChatGPT and learn how to combine it with yourself, to elevate yourself as a designer, rather than fear that AI will replace your job entirely because I think it’ll still be a while before it can perfectly replace what a designer does. But we need to learn how to embrace it and learn it and keep up with these technologies that are coming out so quickly to be able to elevate yourself and your skills to be able to make something that is greater.”

What’s your take on AI? – Episode 01

What’s your Take on AI? is a Douglas Educational Support Community initiative spotlighting Douglas College instructors and their thoughts on Generative AI. The views of the instructors are their own and do not necessarily represent their department, faculty, or the institution as a whole.

The goal of the series is to share perspectives and to put the conversation of generative ai, and both its real and perceived impacts, into the open.

Digital Humanity: Professing in Novel Times—Episode Seven

This week Steven and I met up for a virtual hallway chat with Jovian Radeshwar, a Faculty Member in the Department of Political Science at Douglas College. We were also joined by our invited co-host, Rim Gacimi. Rim is a recent graduate from the Bachelor’s of Psychology program at Douglas College. Rim was an honours student and research assistant to Dr. Lisa Smith. Her work aims to better understand social behaviour and inequality using empirical research methods. Rim is also interested in socio-political discourse and was once a student of Dr. Jovian Radheshwar.

Jovian is a creative and enthusiastic instructor, who does not shy away from tackling everything under the sun when diving into international politics. We caught up with Jovian to chat about some of the ways he’s approaching the design of his online courses this fall. In addition, we wanted to hear his thoughts on how anti-racist pedagogy can help us navigate the chaotic world we find ourselves in.
