Virginia Robertson is partnering with Shawnigan Lake School to teach Hul’qumi’num classes to secondary students. Recognizing that the student body is primarily settler and international students, the curriculum design will create space and time for students to learn Canadian colonial history, to engage with active Hul’q’umi’num’ language speakers, create their own theatrical vignettes based on […]

Ce projet révolutionnaire intègre les capteurs quantiques et l’Internet des objets (IoT) pour optimiser la surveillance des infrastructures de transport, notamment les ponts et les routes. Dans un contexte de vieillissement des infrastructures et de pressions climatiques croissantes, les capteurs quantiques se distinguent par leur capacité à détecter des phénomènes invisibles aux technologies classiques, comme […]

Ce projet combine les capteurs quantiques et l’Internet des objets (IoT) pour améliorer la surveillance des infrastructures de transport, telles que les ponts et les routes. Face au vieillissement des infrastructures et aux défis climatiques, les capteurs quantiques offrent une précision exceptionnelle pour détecter des phénomènes invisibles comme la corrosion et les variations de température. […]

A resource to measure collaborative practice and generalized learning within minutes needs to be easy of use, effective and provide intrinsic motivation to engage users. This project advances the company’s commercialization opportunities by expanding entry into larger organizations and provides an additional opportunity to expand market reach. In the future, the product can be used […]

Many organizations feel unsatisfied with the results of leadership training programs. To tackle this problem, this research project explores new ways to make leader training more engaging and effective. Drawing on theories about human motivation and self-views, the project tests three different intentions to improve leader training. The first study investigates whether focusing on personal […]

Ce projet vise à développer un outil comportant des capsules vidéo de réalité virtuelle (quatre en français et quatre en anglais) dans lesquelles les personnes participantes seront plongées dans les réalités difficiles des personnes racisées. Cette expérience permettra de sensibiliser la population, leurs proches et leurs entourage aux problématiques de discrimination, de racisme et d’intégration […]

This project between the Evaluation Capacity Network (ECN) at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) has 3 objectives: (1) support AMP and its partner organizations in implementing a community-based evaluation of their new Mentoring for Youth and Young Adults from Care (MYYAC) program; (1a) provide evaluation capacity building supports to facilitate […]

SHAPE will work alongside an initiative called Ever Active Schools, who is involved with promoting and supporting healthy and active school communities through a comprehensive school approach. One of the projects SHAPE and Ever Active Schools is working on is a professional mentoring opportunity named Physical Literacy in Residence that is being implemented in 72 […]

There is ample evidence that increasing Canada’s innovation, productivity and competitive advantage depends on expanding its skilled digital workforce to both implement and adopt innovative technologies. Despite the pressing need to increase the digital skills and participation of underrepresented groups in Information and Communications Technology industry and programs to diversifying computer science, the numbers have […]

Methane emission by ruminants has considerable contribution to global warming. Individual animals have been argued to harbor their own specific microbial communities responsible for methane production. The objective of this study is to identify the genomic regions associated with community composition of rumen methanogenic archaea in Iranian Holstein cattle. The genomic DNA from 300 Iranian […]

Our proposed research investigates how K-12 teachers learn and customize digital classroom tools and learning management systems and how they share this information with each other. In particular, we will be working with our partner Microsoft to investigate the use and customization of the recently developed OneNote Class Notebooks software that is increasingly being used […]

Recent studies demonstrated that biochar produced from the thermochemical decomposition of biomass at high temperatures without oxygen (pyrolysis) can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil properties, sequester carbon and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions. However, uniform and safe application of biochar in field is a drawback, due to the low density and […]
