For today’s class, there was a mini field trip that we embarked in. We were able to walk over to the Cornett building to see the conference rooms that UVIC has to offer and the different (advanced) technology that is provided in these rooms. Originally there was supposed to be a guest speaker to teach this lesson, however, the video chat did not work so Val quickly took over and taught this for us. This was another favourite class of mine as it provided me again with a new perspective on learning. The majority of this lesson focused on multi-access which is having a computer and face-to-face course option. This was something Val was clearly passionate about since she revealed to us how she fought to have this at uvic. This option was extremely useful for those who have health conditions or live in rural areas where transportation would have been longer than the actual class lecture space. Inclusion is what stuck out most when Val discussed the benefits of having such technology/options. An example of a positive use of this would be if a student suffered from a severe health issue, and instead of opting out and missing their entire elementary/highs school experience they could use video chat through a robot that could still incorporate the student into social cues and friendship opportunities. As well as they would be able to get the education they deserve at the same price as the rest (minus the expense for the robot which is sometimes covered). Multimodality is a new and advanced way of progressing into the future of inclusion where each student will receive the opportunity to learn and grow.
