    (2022) van Dreumel, Lynda
    Envision YU Instructor Website: Envision YU is a pedagogical approach supporting students to gain the skills necessary to successfully transition into and through their university studies, then out of university and into their careers or further studies when they graduate. This site hosts a collection of teaching resources and instructor supporting materials. It was designed to aid Course Directors in providing opportunities for students to develop personally and academically, all while enhancing student engagement with the instructor’s existing assessments and classroom activities. Many of these resources have been student tested for understanding, interactivity and functionality. Envision YU Student Pressbook (ENGLISH): Envision YU is a suite of open educational resources encompassing instructional materials, learning activities, worksheets and evaluation tools. The tools have been designed to support learners in developing their confidence and ability to successfully transition through and out of university. The resources focus specifically on four capacities that are important to student success, namely teamwork, reflection, self-regulation, and transfer. Under each capacity, instructors can find a range of resources that support learners across the stages of development from comprehending to developing, applying, and advancing each capacity. By stacking complementary resources in a single course, instructors can include opportunities for scaffolded learning and timely feedback.

    COMS4208: Praba Pilar technotamaladas
    (2024) Pilar, Praba; Buiani, Roberta
    A lecture performance by Praba Pilar about her work connecting AI, Food, and the Americas tradition of making tamales as a cherished community activity. Pilar sees the connection between food and technology as a natural one. In fact, cultivating corn in the Americas has involved century old techniques to preserve its nutritional value that have guaranteed the survival of countless populations. In fact, Nixtamalization is a centuries old process in which maize is soaked then cooked with ash or lime high in alkali. It removes almost all fumonisins, resulting in tortillas and other maize based foods being substantially free of these mycotoxins. This event was part of the course COMS 4208 Dreaming of Electric Sheep: Emergent Practices in Communications 1.

    E-Mentoring Program for Graduate and Undergraduate Nursing Students: Outline of Program Modules and Pre and Post Survey Templates
    (2023) Robbio, Ruth; Bertram, Mavoy; Endersby, Lisa; McCague, Hugh; Brennagh, Helen; Nugent, Doina; Quail, Stephanie
    Many new graduate nurses face difficulties in their transition to professional practice. To help mitigate these difficulties, socialization through social supports and mentoring are critical to facilitate entry to practice (Robbio, 2018) and may be realized through opportunities for empathetic, authentic, and relational mentoring to address ongoing issues, such as isolation and a lack of social connectivity and mental wellbeing, faced by nursing students (Cengiz et al., 2021). Traditional in-person mentoring may encounter barriers, such as unsupportive work environments, lack of mentor access, heavy workloads and location and distance constraints. To address these limitations, an e-mentoring program for nursing students by nursing students was developed as a viable transitional strategy. This document provides individuals with access to the following openly licensed components from York University’s E-Mentoring Program: Partnering Graduate Nursing Students and Undergraduate Nursing Students: A list of the modules in the fully online program; Access to the survey instruments that were developed and administered to e-mentees and e-mentors prior to the program and at the completion of the program.
