    Geneveieve Maheux-Pelletier - Structuring the Chaos of Education Through Community & Dialogue
    Oct 14 2024
    Dr. Maheux-Pelletier sees connection at the heart of her practice. Her professional role is all about connecting with colleagues to grow a common understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the teaching and learning profession in higher education. The hope is that then together, we can then co-create strategic ways of adapting, experimenting with, and transforming the teaching practice to reflect and influence the changing landscape of higher education. Outside of work, she is also a self-described kick-ass mom.

    As an experienced educational leader with a comprehensive understanding of university culture, Genevieve has played multiple roles within academia in the last 20 years - a professor, an undergraduate program director, an educational developer, and a scholar-researcher of teaching and learning. She has extensive teaching experience from the Universities in Canada, America, and Europe. Her research in the last eight years has focused on experiential teaching and learning in higher education and educational development and leadership, and prior to that her published work was in the field of discourse and conversation analysis.

    Dr. Maheux-Pelletier is an expert in the process of strategic, culture shifts within often very challenging public higher education environments. Join me in welcoming her to the education revolution, for a powerful discussion on key considerations we can all make as we work together to bring about meaningful change in our systems of education.

    Helen Brennagh - Putting the Human Back in Tech Support
    Sep 16 2024
    As assistant manager of learning technology services at York University, Helen has over 20 years of experience supporting faculty members as they navigate an increasingly digital reality. She has seen it all folks, from the origins of the modern learning management system to supporting huge institutions in what feels like a constantly changing and evolving landscape of procuring, installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and upgrading different software and hardware.

    Helen is skilled in instructional design and the creation of e-learning solutions with a background in software development. Her background in software engineering allows her to be able to understand what's possible with technology, however that's not her true passion, that my friends is something much simpler and more human – helping people figure out how to do the things they want or need to do, whether that's making tech more friendly for them, enhancing the process of them using what already exists, or holding their literal or metaphorical hand as they navigate the frustrations of tech troubleshooting.

    Helen's focus is on building relationships and helping people in turn to build relationships with tools and technology. Helen's passion and professional expertise are matched only by her incredible insights on how to improve the support structures around technology. These are powerful takeaways everyone and they have the potential the positively inform system change in Higher Ed., so I'm super excited to welcome Helen to the Education Revolution.
