|'''Aldo Caputo, Director, Centre for Extended Learning'''

'''University of Waterloo'''

'''Chair'''

I have been a part of OUCEL since it began in 2007. It has been a tremendously valuable and fulfilling experience, both personally and professionally, and I feel a strong commitment to the organization. As part of the Stewardship Committee, I want to help ensure that it continues to be a nexus of information sharing, collegial collaboration, and mutual growth for all participants, as we collectively provide leadership and wisdom around e-learning in the province.

|'''Nick Baker, Director, Office of Open Learning'''

'''University of Windsor'''

'''Past Chair'''

I believe wholeheartedly in the value of this community, and am very glad to be able to contribute to its development and resilience in the coming years. OUCeL is a community that opened its arms and welcomed me when I moved to Canada almost a decade ago, and I feel at home when I am with my colleagues from this group. I have contributed to the planning of our annual meetings for several years, and have hosted OUCeL at Windsor, so I'm comfortable supporting the community in this way. I am very active in online, open and technology-enhanced education in the province as a member of the eCampus Ontario Board of Directors and through involvement in many other aspects of eCampus' activities, as well as international organisations in the field. Above all, I want to see our community continue to thrive, to maintain its unique connections to the people who share our space in post secondary education, and to collectively share our wisdom so that we can advocate effectively for the people we serve in our institutions. I am excited to see how our community continues to evolve, and to play an active role in that development as chair of the OUCeL Stewardship Committee.

|'''Susan L. Forbes, Manager, Teaching and Learning Centre'''

'''University of Ontario Institute of Technology'''

I've been a member of OUCeL since the Fall of 2018. I was an original member of the interim Stewardship Committee, having volunteered to serve as I recognized the importance of formalizing OUCEL in order to garner better recognition on the post-secondary landscape, as well as supporting others in their work at their respective institutions. I'm honoured to be part of this organization and look forward to learning about and contributing to eLearning. Additionally, I serve on Ontario Tech's Student Success Committee and see a strong synergy between the work of OUCeL and supporting students. I also think my background allows me to bring an interesting perspective and skill set to the Stewardship role.

|[[Image:Susan_Forbes.jpg|center|200px]]

|-
|'''Joanne Kehoe, Associate Director, eLearning'''

'''McMaster University'''

My interest in serving on OUCEL’s Stewardship Committee is primarily based on giving back to a group that has provided so much to me professionally. My experiences in multiple teaching and learning-centered roles at McMaster University and in working and collaborating with eCampusOntario, has provided me with both institutional and system-wide perspectives on how to foster the creation and support of enriching tech-enhanced teaching and learning experiences. My background is rooted in many areas‚ including learning design, technology platform evaluation, acquisition and thoughtful use, faculty development programming, open education and open pedagogies, inclusive teaching practices and cultivating digital literacies for post-secondary communities. I have experienced the countless benefits collaborating across institutions can provide, and work on OUCEL’s Stewardship Committee will feed into my belief that this collaboration across our institutions is key to shaping our collective future. OUCEL represents to me a group that strives toward a shared purpose of cultivating excellence in tech-enhanced teaching and learning as we look past our own institutional and structural constraints and focus on continuing to build this excellence.

|'''Pat Maher, Dean, Teaching'''

'''Nipissing University'''

When I returned to Ontario, after 20 years away, OUCeL immediately became an important community for me. I was appointed as Nipissing University’s inaugural Dean of Teaching in October 2019; and 5 months later (March 2020) everything changed with a global pandemic. The support I received from this group, helped me (and NU) navigate the brave new world that was emergency remote everything. Joining the steering committee; now is my time to give back.

My background includes decades of field-based teaching, online/hybrid teaching, open teaching and a blend of all these styles augmenting and supporting one another. I am a Full Professor of Physical and Health Education, and have held faculty positions in New Zealand, British Columbia, Norway, Nova Scotia and Iceland. I am a 3M National Teaching Fellow (2014), and a 2020 Fellow of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL).

|'''Mark Lubrick, Learning Specialist, Office of Open Learning'''

'''University of Windsor'''

OUCEL was the very first group I got to interact with when I started my career in educational development in 2015 and I was made to feel welcome and valued even with my lack of experience. As part of the stewardship committee I want to give back to this valuable group and support the positive influence it has within our community. Within my office I support a wide range of technologies (virtual learning environments, video recording/editing, authoring tools, captioning, digital math, assistive technologies, etc.). I also sit on various committees and working groups related to professional development, accessibility, technology, and eLearning strategies. Finally, I have the pleasure of continuing to teach an asynchronous online Astronomy course.

'''Curriculum analytics: moving beyond analytics for identifying students at risk''' Niall Sclater - Jisc, UK

Learning analytics implementations have to date been mainly concerned with identifying students at academic risk. However there is far more that can potentially be achieved with data about students and their learning. Researchers have been identifying ways in which this data can be used to discover how well aspects of the curriculum are functioning. Niall Sclater will discuss some of the current innovations in this area and how Jisc in the UK is developing the underlying technical infrastructure to enable curriculum analytics.

'''Going beyond student success: examining what is intended, achieved and perceived in a curriculum''' Dale Lackeyram – University of Guelph

While much of our conversations have been focused on our learners and the variety of identities and contexts that they bring to the teaching-learning exchange, there is a unique opportunity to utilize learning analytics to examine what makes a “good” curriculum. The expanding landscape of demands on a curriculum has grown to include accountability and societal responsibility alongside more traditional requirements of being psychologically and cognitively sound. This presentation will delve into a transferable model of using analytics as a basis for exploring continuous curriculum improvement as we explore curriculum beyond elements of student success.

'''Laurie Harrison, Director Online Learning Strategies'''

'''University of Toronto'''

'''Chair'''
[[Image:LHarrison_head_shot.jpg|left|150px]]

As an active member of OUCeL since 2007, I highly value the community of practice we have developed over the years. In my experience, this professional network is a great source of timely and relevant information that informs my work and also provides unique opportunities for cross-institutional collaboration. I'm pleased to be the current Chair of the OUCeL Stewardship Committee, as well as a member of the Faculty Advisory Committee for eCampusOntario.

'''Nick Baker, Director, Office of Open Learning'''

'''University of Windsor'''

'''Incoming Chair'''
[[Image:Nick_Baker.jpg|left|120px]]

I believe wholeheartedly in the value of this community, and I want to continue to contribute to its development and resilience in the coming years. OUCeL is a community that opened its arms and welcomed me when I moved to Canada almost a decade ago, and I feel at home when I am with my colleagues from this group. I have contributed to the planning of our annual meetings for several years, and have hosted OUCeL at Windsor, so I'm comfortable supporting the community in this way. I am very active in online, open and technology-enhanced education in the province as a member of the eCampus Ontario Board of Directors and through involvement in many other aspects of eCampus' activities. Above all, I want to see our community continue to thrive, to maintain its unique connections to the people who share our space in post secondary education, and to collectively share our wisdom so that we can advocate effectively for the people we serve in our institutions. I am excited to see how our community continues to evolve, and to play a role in that as a member of the OUCeL Stewardship Committee.

'''Leslie Malcolm, Coordinator of Learning Technologies and Innovation'''

'''Lakehead University'''

[[Image:Leslie.jpg|left|150px]]

I have been involved with and participated in OUCeL events since its inception and welcome the opportunity to expand my involvement in a more formalized fashion. With over 25 years' experience in distance education and e-learning at a university in northern Ontario, I am very familiar with the challenges of providing access to educational opportunities in rural and remote communities. I have significant experience in e-learning initiatives (e.g., online programming, strategic planning, funding proposals) and implementing and supporting educational technologies.
I am a long-standing member Canadian Association of University Continuing Education, Canadian Network for Innovation in Education, Contact North, Ontario Council of University Lifelong Learning, and eCampusOntario. Also, I sit on several institutional committees concerned with technologies in teaching and learning environments. I look forward to serving on the Stewardship Committee to advocate for technological innovations that support teaching and learning in higher education.

----

'''Aldo Caputo, Director, Centre for Extended Learning'''

'''University of Waterloo'''

[[Image:Aldo_Caputo.jpg|left|150px]]

I have been a part of OUCEL since it began in 2007. It has been a tremendously valuable and fulfilling experience, both personally and professionally, and I feel a strong commitment to the organization. As part of the Stewardship Committee, I want to help ensure that it continues to be a nexus of information sharing, collegial collaboration, and mutual growth for all participants, as we collectively provide leadership and wisdom around e-learning in the province.

----

'''Susan L. Forbes, Manager, Teaching and Learning Centre'''

'''University of Ontario Institute of Technology'''

[[Image:Susan_Forbes.jpg|left|200px]]

I'm new to OUCEL, having attended my first meeting in the Fall of 2018. At this meeting, I volunteered to be part of the interim Stewardship Committee as I recognized the importance of formalizing OUCEL in order to garner better recognition on the post-secondary landscape, as well as supporting others in their work at their respective institutions. I'm honoured to be part of this organization and look forward to learning about and contributing to eLearning. Additionally, I serve on UOIT's Student Success Committee and see a strong synergy between the work of OUCeL and supporting students. I also think my background allows me to bring an interesting perspective and skill set to the Stewardship role.

'''Mary Scott, Associate Director, eLearning'''

'''Wilfrid Laurier University'''

[[Image:Mary_Scott.JPG|left|150px]]

After more than 16 years working in the field of distance/online learning and educational technologies at Wilfrid Laurier University, I have found the experience of collaborating with peers from other institutions to be invaluable. OUCeL provides countless opportunities and touch points to share ideas and resources, ask questions, debate ideas and enhance professional knowledge in our field. I'm interested to join the steering committee for this group to help sustain its significance in this landscape which is constantly changing. Having recently completed a fully online masters, I have extended my experience to include the perspective of the learner, and feel strongly that this medium provides opportunities that regular classroom instruction may not, particularly for adult learners. I look forward to continuing to work with the great folks in OUCeL!
