Laurie Harrison, Director Online Learning Strategies

University of Toronto Chair.

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.

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

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

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

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. My experience in the area of eLearning area is limited. I have been working as an instructor and active research, having taken on the Manager role in January 2018. 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. I want to continue this relationship and role, as they will help me expand the eLearning landscape and student success at UOIT.



Mary Scott, Associate Director, eLearning

Wilfrid Laurier University

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!
