Hello Colleagues:

 

I am grateful for all the past research, the presentations, the resources and the chats at OERI2021 so far.

 

I was speaking with our mentor Michelle Harrison and my other affinity group member Maya Hey about ways for students to express thoughts and feelings about their own processes during a research project involving them.  I want to complement the student focus groups I am organizing (not yet REB approved).

 

I would like students to document their own process. I would provide students a choice on how to document, for example, in a written diary, and audio diary, or concept map. Am I simply and justly applying Universal Design for Learning principles, encouraging multiple means of expression as I would in class?

 

Or, and this is the question, because each of those mediums and activities is different—writing, speaking, drawing—am I creating three research instrumentsThoughts?

 

Michelle and Maya can add here to further represent our conversation.  

 

(I am the KPU Open Research Fellow, 2021-2022, overlapping with the extremely clever inaugural Research Fellow, Melissa Ashman who gave a lightning talk on Monday. )
