- In North America, sport specialization for young athletes has become a prerequisite for sport achievement, but academics have yet to explore the effects that sport specialization has on athletes’ consumption and participation patterns. Thus, this project explores the following research question: what are the effects of sport specialization on the individual volleyball athlete in terms of: i) patterns of participation in sport (past, present, and future); and ii) consumption patterns in the sport industry? The methodological approach was to interview current and retired volleyball players aged 18 to 30 in Calgary, Alberta. The questions were designed to ask participants how they spend...

- There is a great deal of research pertaining to the standards and regulations required to create “accessible” spaces. However, by only following minimum recommendations and guidelines, facilities are falling short of meeting and exceeding all people’s accessibility needs. Introduced in 1988, The City of Calgary mandates measures that follow established Access Design Standards (ADS), which exceed Alberta Building Code requirements. While these standards are required in all new City of Calgary buildings and renovation projects, they are not required to integrate the standards into existing infrastructure. Research indicates that the built environment directly reflects society's...

- In recent years, scholars have shown an increased interest in understanding how Millennials’ perceptions of entitlement impact both their work and academic lives (e.g., Ng, Schweitzer, & Lyons, 2010). However, there is minimal research on the impact that a recession has on Millennials as they transition from university to the labour market. The purpose of the current project was to gain a better understanding of the impact that the current recession in Alberta has on new graduates’ career expectations. We used a mixed methods design that incorporated both focus group data and questionnaire results from 62 third- and fourth-year business students in Alberta. Interestingly, participants’...

- These two scholarship of teaching and learning undergraduate student co-investigators talk about why they got involved in SoTL research, describe the projects they've worked on and what they've learned, and share their perspectives on how faculty and students can work together toward improving student learning. Some key themes from their talk include how they now have a better understanding of what research is and what universities do, how much they were inspired and excited by doing the research and gained confidence by being able to add value to a research project, and also how it taught them life skills such as developing time management skills, learning that setbacks are okay, and...

- In the fall of 2012, our library surveyed teaching faculty to gauge their expectations around students’ use of information. We asked instructors what they thought was important for students to know in each year of study, how proficient they felt students were in performing tasks associated with research, how they expected students to acquire that proficiency, and how they assessed students’ skills. The survey also polled faculty on the types of resources they felt were important for each year of study. The results of the study are informing the development of the library’s strategic plan and the inclusion of information literacy outcomes in program reviews and assessments. The good news...

- Are you preparing to teach online due to the coronavirus emergency, but need a place to start? One simple way to guide your planning is to think about online learning (like many forms of learning) as involving three key elements (Anderson, 2008): Student-Content, Student-Student, and Educator-Student interactions. This infographic illustrates these three interaction elements and provides related examples. References: Anderson, T. 2008. The theory and practice of online learning (Chapter 2, 2nd ed.).

- While the academic community and the general public often refer to learners today as inherently tech-savvy digital natives, those in the educational technology community have long advocated for a move away from digital native stereotypes in favour of fostering digital literacy. As such, the educational technology community can play a vital role in shifting from popular conceptions of digital natives and toward developing digital literacy for the benefit of all learners. In this paper, we provide a comparative analysis of search data from Google Trends showing continued use of the term digital natives and the rising interest in digital literacy. In order to help educators move away from...

- The REID interview technique has received criticism from the academic and legal fields in Canada and the United States. The criticism has led for calls to replace the REID technique with the PEACE model. In this paper, the methods of the REID technique and PEACE model will be outlined. Also, the legal cases involving the use of the REID technique in Canada will be outlined. The PEACE model argument will also be outlined. That information will be used to show a similarity between the REID technique and PEACE model. The similarity will show that the criticism against the REID technique focuses on specific misunderstandings that are related to the outcome of legal cases. The bigger picture...

- The Alberta OER Journal Club was started in Autumn of 2018 as a way of continuing the OER discussion in Alberta, following the end of the provincial government's one-time funding. The journal club hosts monthly Twitter chats where guest facilitators guide a discussion on a piece of OER literature. This presentation will review the background and development of this project, provide an overview of the format and best practices, and highlight the project's significance and surprises.

- This special issue demonstrates how “Decoding the Disciplines” not only provides a framework for inquiry into teaching and learning disciplinary concepts, but also holds much potential for bridging disciplinary thinking and teaching practice across disciplines, and serving as a tool for both teaching and curriculum development. In Chapter 1, together with our Faculty Learning Community (FLC) co-authors, we describe the “Decoding the Disciplines” FLC at Mount Royal University, including how it started as a faculty development initiative, and how it developed into various teaching, curriculum, and research projects which are presented in detail in subsequent chapters. We hope that others...
