BLOG#4

This is the video I found on Youtube that well defines our group’s Learning design plan. In this video,Tom explores all things related to workplace mental health, including mental health in school workplaces, in this insightful video. Tom helps employers figure out mental health at work. He reviews workplaces, trains managers and writes plans.

Inherent Interaction:

  • The video includes pause prompts, reflection questions,it would require students to respond actively.
  • If the video is active speaking, it can force responses and could still encourage implicit engagement (e.g., thinking about concepts).

Learner-Generated Responses:

  • Take notes on key terms or ideas base on Tom’s example
  • Pause the video to research unfamiliar concepts.
  • Reflect on how the content connects to their lives or prior knowledge.
  • Discuss the video with peers and come up new idea on workplace mentalhealth(e.g., in a study group).

Suggested Post-Video Activity

  • Students are able to Analyze a real-world example related to the video’s topic and propose solutions. So they can improve their problem solving techniques.

Feedbacks

  • Students are tested by the questions that contains the concepts in the video about workplace mentalhealth. And provide suggestions on self opinions.

Connections

Our group projects was based on

“A Healthy Mind at Work Leads to a Thriving Workplace”

As this central concept emphasizes that mental health is not just an individual concern but a key factor in workplace success. A supportive, mentally healthy work environment boosts productivity, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. Organizations that prioritize mental health create a culture of resilience, collaboration, and long-term success for both employees and businesses.

BLOG #3

Hello everyone, our group are focusing on the topic Workplace Mental Health: Building Resilience and Promoting Well-Being, Mental health in professional settings refers to an individual’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being in the workplace. It affects how employees think, feel, and behave, as well as how they handle stress, interact with colleagues, and perform their job responsibilities. A mentally healthy workplace supports employees in managing stress, maintaining productivity, and achieving work-life balance. Our Learning Design Plan is“A Healthy Mind at Work Leads to a Thriving Workplace”, and will dig deeper to it.

Base on the readings by this week, I have noticed that there are still much more improvements can be make to our topic plan, like add a section on “Inclusive Support Systems” to the rationale, emphasizing accommodations for employees or those with disabilities. Incorporate self-assessment tools, for examples – stress audits, reflection journals, to personalize learning paths. Partner with mental health organizations to provide multilingual resources or culturally specific support examples.

We should deepen the plan by its inclusivity by adding accessibility, and flexibility. By revising activities, assessments, and resources through an inclusive perspective, the design will better serve diverse learners and can encourage equitable participation.

Lastly, feel free to leave comments so we can do better, anything will do. Thankyou so much.

Welcome and Introduction

Before proceeding with this first blog post, we expect you to consider your privacy preferences carefully and that you have considered the following options:

  1. Do you want to be online vs. offline?
  2. Do you want to use your name (or part thereof) vs. a pseudonym (e.g., West Coast Teacher)?
  3. Do you want to have your blog public vs. private? (Note, you can set individual blog posts private or password protected or have an entire blog set to private)
  4. Have you considered whether you are posting within or outside of Canada? This blog on opened.ca is hosted within Canada. That said, any public blog posts can have its content aggregated/curated onto social networks outside of Canada.

First tasks you might explore with your new blog:

  • Go into its admin panel found by adding /wp-admin at the end of your blog’s URL
  • Add new category or tags to organize your blog posts – found under “Posts” (but do not remove the pre-existing “edci335” category).
  • See if your blog posts are appearing on the course website (you must have the the edci335 category assigned to a post first and have provided your instructor with your blog URL)
  • Add pages, if you like.
  • Include hyperlinks in your posts (select text and click on the link icon in the post toolbar)
  • Embed images or set featured images and embed video in blog posts and pages (can be your own media or that found on the internet, but consider free or creative commons licensed works). To embed a YouTube video, simply paste the URL on its own line.
  • Under Dashboard/Appearance,
    • Select your preferred website theme and customize to your preferences (New title, new header image, etc.)
    • Customize menus & navigation
    • Use widgets to customize blog content and features
  • Delete this starter post (or switch it to draft status if you want to keep it for reference)

Do consider creating categories for each course that you take should you wish to document your learning (or from professional learning activities outside of formal courses). Keep note, however, that you may wish to rename the label of the course category in menus (e.g., as we did where it shows “Learning Design” as the label for the “edci335” category menu.  This will enable readers not familiar with university course numbers to understand what to expect in the contents.

Lastly, as always, be aware of the FIPPA as it relates to privacy and share only those names/images that you have consent to use or are otherwise public figures. When in doubt, ask us.
