Ideation, Ideation, Planning, and Innovation Skills for Employment Success – An Open Education Online Resource for Co-op Professional Development

This is a webinar!

The shift to performance-based funding (Ontario, 2022) for Ontario universities has prioritized professional skill development and work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities to address the skills gap (Sullivan, 2017). As this pandemic has proven, and in line with the Government of Canada’s Innovation Plan (2019), the future is uncertain and our role in supporting future-ready graduates is to ensure they have the innovation skills to “embrace global changes” (p.6). Ensuring students are developing these essential innovation skills should be central to WIL curriculum.
Following the receipt of a $104,000 grant from eCampus Ontario, awarded through the VLS fund, the University of Toronto Arts & Science Internship Program developed an open-resource innovation skill development course as part of their work term preparation curriculum. In the course, students work together in groups to address an industry-partnered challenge, completing 11 sequential skill modules, developed with significant industry input, to support them in ideating and planning their innovative solution. Each module has a deliverable that demonstrates their proficiency in that given skill, with the final assignment culminating in a written formal proposal for their solution. Modules focus on interdisciplinary transferrable skills and include: UN SDGs, Intercultural Communication, Design Thinking, Project Management (Teamwork & Leadership; Planning; Problem Solving), and Workplace Communication.
This presentation will offer all attendees a detailed review of the course content, including key features (e.g. how to integrate H5P interactive activities), and how to download and adapt the content for their own use either as a whole or in sections. Student feedback and lessons learned from the pilot also will be shared with the attendees. Anyone interested in co-op preparation curriculum, or e-module instructional design in general are encouraged to attend!

Career Development Professional Centre

Code of Conduct

Help us cultivate a Centre we all enjoy by reviewing and following the Code of Conduct.

Our Purpose

Thank you for being a part of the Career Development Professional Centre. To ensure that all members have the best possible experience, we have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to adhere to. This code of conduct applies equally to every person in the community and is intended to foster an online space that is inclusive, safe, and welcoming to all.

Centre Rules

Be welcoming

We strive to be a place that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. We aim to be a place that promotes excellence and innovation in career and workforce development. Please extend respect to all members; we all come from different backgrounds and levels of knowledge and there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Be respectful

We won’t all agree all the time, but when we disagree don’t let those disagreements turn into personal attacks. A place where people feel uncomfortable or threatened will not be a productive one. When having discussions in the online community, commenting on a library article, or participating in other Centre activities, strive for productive conversations around the content being presented, not the person behind the content. Any comments determined to be “hate speech” towards any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the comment has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Hate Speech could include and is not limited to:

  • Violent threats or language directed against another person
  • Discriminatory jokes, language, or materials
  • Defamatory or abusive language or materials
  • Profane or illegal materials
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

A good rule of thumb is to never say anything that you wouldn’t be comfortable with the world seeing or that you wouldn’t want anyone knowing came from you. We ask that you keep in mind the focus of this place, which is building excellence and innovation in career and workforce development for all individuals.

Be considerate of the purpose of the Centre

The Centre focuses on building excellence and discussing innovation in the career and workforce development field. The goal of the social learning community is to communicate goals, challenges, constructive feedback, and questions in relation to career and workforce development. The Centre should be a place for continued learning and development as well as a place to discuss the future of our field (solicitation without written consent by the Project or Advisory team, is strictly prohibited). Any post or comment that is determined to be soliciting any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the post has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Post your discussions or documents in the most appropriate group or topic

Especially within the social learning community, make reasonable efforts to ensure that posts and materials are allocated to the appropriate group or topic. This will prevent cluttering the feed and make it easier for everyone to find the information that they are seeking. Individuals who do this repeatedly will be contacted by one of the group admins and asked to follow these guidelines.

Privacy and Release of Information

CDPC-CEDC will not release your information to any third-party agencies.

Thank you and welcome to the CDPC
