Team 4 analyzed Pottle’s (2022) eLearning teacher resource, Teaching online or hoarding frogs in a wheelbarrow, with an appreciation for Veletsianos’s (2021) four tenets of online and blended learning environments. The infographic below showcases each team member’s assessment of the eLearning’s efficiency & effectiveness, ability to engage, and systemic awareness of ethics and equity.

Helping students, and even teachers, for that matter, understand new material and patterns of behaviour is a challenge even in the best learning environments. Our infographic represents how different learners are and what topics they find interesting. Incorporating these ideas into our MALAT experience represents a combination of social learning theory (Kondrostami & Seitz, 2021), group discourse to explore new perspectives, and an appreciation for intersectionality (Crenshaw, 2015) in learning in our current academic environments.
