In mathematics, a group is a set (an accumulation of items) together with a certain operation. For example: the integers with addition, the symmetries of an equilateral triangle. Being one of the simplest algebraic structures, groups are ubiquitous in mathematics and have applications in other disciplines. Informally, a group is called profinite if it can […]

Student self-assessment (SA) refers to a suite of classroom activities wherein students reflect on their own work, abilities, and learning processes. When tailored to students’ needs and systematically integrated in classroom instruction, SA activities cultivate students’ capacity to manage their own learning, making SA foundational for success in K-12 classrooms and dynamic environments beyond (e.g., […]

Cette recherche est une contribution aux efforts de reconstruction du parcours de la parole vivante qui a apporté des mémoires et des cosmovisions africaines, transmises oralement, aux Amériques, en particulier au Brésil et au Canada. L’art verbal dont il est question ici est l’Oríkì yorùbá, à travers lequel on cherche à établir des dialogues, des […]

The extensive use of coal-based energy sources to cater to industrialization and rising population in the last several decades is leading to global warming and severe climate changes, which has motivated researchers to harness renewable energy resources. Among the existing renewable energy resources, solar energy is the most viable candidate to reduce fossil fuels in […]

The presence of metal ions in contaminated water from industrial processes present a huge challenge that has led to great concern regarding their effects on human health. Conventional treatment processes are not adequate for their removal, so new technologies need to be investigated. The use of three-dimensional porous system, such as hydrogels, is an alternative […]

Heart transplantation is the definitive therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. Each year, over 5000 heart transplant procedures are performed worldwide. One of the main limitations to the long-term survival of heart transplant recipients is the diffuse narrowing of the coronary arteries, called cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV, also known as transplant coronary artery disease). […]

The interns will assist with surveying the literature and prior work as it concerns reporting frameworks that capture the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of small, medium enterprise (SME) policies and performance in Canada. This review will inform an interview process with a pilot cluster of businesses to determine the challenges and constraints they […]

Families can play an important role in helping prepare their children to learn to read by engaging in activities that support pre-literacy skills. Not all parents are aware of their abilities to help their children however, and this is often especially the case in immigrant families, where cultural practices surrounding education – especially the families […]

My proposed research examines how an endangered species of capuchin monkey, the blond capuchin (*Sapajus flavius*), spaces itself in a forest fragment (a small area of forest surrounded by human development). In particular, I will look how individuals make use of space, in a context of large group size, limited opportunities for dispersion, and predation […]

Learning technologies now exist that give students practice thinking critically and creatively, communicating and collaborating, and gaining an insight into their personal strengths and weaknesses. In the case of a technology called peerScholar, that exercise happens as students give feedback and then learn from feedback effectively. Giving effective constructive feedback and learning from the feedback […]

The proposed project aims to develop a regional entrepreneurship program to create pathways for critical stakeholders to participate in our signature programs. Through events, facilitated workshops, and challenges, we will explore innovative ways to increase participation in the inclusive innovation ecosystem, bring together creative problem solvers technology solutions and aid in identifying diverse founders and […]

The goal of the project is to expedite STEM learning through creating interactive interfaces and activities simulating experiential learning through a digital platform. The online platform will aligns with various ministry of educational expectations as well as maximize the engagement between students and learning. Key activities include understand why certain methodology in various social media […]
