Process of Creating Multiethnic and Multimodal OER for Teaching and Learning in Francophone Contexts.
Session Abstract
In recent years, educators of all backgrounds have focused on the affordances of digital technologies (Farr & Murray, 2016). However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, hybrid teaching-learning contexts have created a significant need for validated and copyright-free multimodal digital resources, particularly for teaching various subjects, including French (Boultif & Pecorini, 2021). Unfortunately, few French-language multimodal resources were accessible and copyright-free. Moreover, few of these resources met the expectations of diverse curricula due to limitations or obsolescence. Our presentation outlines the stages of a research and creation project of an Open Educational Resource (OER) designed for teaching French, especially autobiography, biography, and storytelling genres. We provide an overview of the general context, theoretical framework, research, and design approach related to creating learning modules focused on a selection of text genres.
Keywords
OER, Research Design, teaching sequence, Multimodal, Francophone minority learning context
Objectives of the Session
- Communicate the adopted research and development approach (Research design method) in creating a relevant multimodal OER.
- Highlight the importance of creating a multimodal OER in a minority learning french context by including a variety of perspectives (North american, african, indigenous)
Full Description of the Session
In this session, we will go through the critical landscape of OER development, focusing on the creation of inclusive, collaboratively engaging learning modules using the Research Design method. We will present the authoring interface, the tools, and the multimodal supports used, and we will also talk about the validation phases of the first two modules of the OER. We will discuss the need to develop a variety of multiethnic French-speaking resources, adapted to the teaching of French in minority contexts.
To encourage participant engagement, we will include two polls that will be conducted in real-time during the presentation using the online tool Mentimeter. The first poll will be done before the presentation is delivered. The objective is to collect participants' opinions on the educational issues of the OER. The second survey will be conducted at the end of the presentation with the aim of evaluating the OER from the method used to produce the resource and its relevance in the context of minority education. The purpose of this presentation is to raise the issue of producing inclusive and engaging OER in the context of a French-speaking linguistic minority and to contribute to the discourse on the development of OER for equitable education.
