With the knowledge and skills gained from this course, I'd like to create a safe space for all participations in my course - and have a decolonization lens for the curriculum development work that I'm doing. Great resources that pushed me to reflect on my practice. I also really enjoyed how the OER has been designed.

I particularly enjoyed the positionality exercise and the section about colours and shot angles - these were completely new to me. Even if I haven't created videos or will not in a near future, it is very helpful to know when choosing multimedia to include in a course. Very enlightening.

I found this training to be inspiring and insightful! I am grateful that my understanding of how designers are oppressors has been deepened. The primacy of English and text, the lack of imagery to support understanding, the use of images that reinforce oppressive stereotypes...it is powerful to look at all of my design decisions as a graphic artist through a pluriversal lens.

I've never seen my situation acknowledged in any coursework I've done: I'm a single Mom of 2, and I have several jobs (precarious gigs) to make ends meet. I often have to get up at 3am to get my work done, since my workday ends at 3pm. I'm tired all the time, and life often feels like an incredible struggle. But in this course, I read my story at a couple of points...there was reference to people exactly like me, trying to keep it all together. I felt seen and acknowledged. Thank you for this!

Love this course, and very honoured to be a part of it. I loved how interactive it is. There is so much to be gained from these reminders and reinforcements for how to be inclusive.

When I started the course with Rebecca and Yasmine, I knew that there were accessibility standards, and I knew that a refresher on these would be very useful. I had no idea how much MORE this course would cover. HOW I organize information on a website, or a poster or a social media post, from the colours and images I choose to the way I prioritize some information over other sections of text...all of these have implications for anyone raised in a culture that is not my own. Trying to first see Western ways of thinking and communicating, and then learning how decolonize the way I present information...I needed a full course to do this.

The course content was an excellent resource, but also the community that was formed around the course content. It was very useful to talk through my un-learning process with others who were experiencing the same "lightbulb turning on" moments.

Yasmine and Rebecca are not only knowledgeable and competent in their respective fields, but they are also deeply committed to moving I-EDIAA to challenge and transform colonized epistemologies. Their educational leadership promotes an authenticity, humanity and social justice perspective as they guide colleagues through the course.This unique opportunity for educational support professionals and those who create media is not common in our work. Often professional development training consists of an asynchronous lesson, journal article or webinar, all passive forms of learning. However, this experience promotes building collective knowledge, self-reflection, and application of skill all within a caring and supportive environment encouraging personal growth for participants.
