GPDI552 - Build Your ePortfolio with Beginner Wordpress

Section 1

February 5-26, 2021, 09:30 - 10:30, Fri

This course combines the learning of two professional skills into one: you will learn how to build your ePortfolio while also learning how to use Wordpress.com. This project-based course will be taught over 4 weeks using multiple channels, including video tutorials on Udemy (6.5 hours), Zoom lectures (4 hours), and weekly assignments. Components of your ePortfolio will be due incrementally so that, by the end of course, you will have a version of an ePortfolio that you can share with potential collaborators and/or employers. No previous Wordpress knowledge is required. Your ePortfolio is a personal website that encapsulates your work as a graduate student and early career professional. Think of it as an expanded CV. Whereas a CV ‘tells’ the reader of your achievements, the ePortfolio ‘shows’ the reader what you’ve done in detail. EPortfolio’s are increasing requested in job applications since they summarize your skills and accomplishments in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. It is an opportunity to show your professional identity and maybe even be discovered! The ePortfolio for this course will contain the following pages: 1. About: a brief biographical statement 2. Contact: a way to encourage correspondence 3. Projects: publications, multimedia/audiovisual works, media appearances, etc. 4. Optional pages for your education, research interests, extracurricular activities, etc. This hybrid course spans 4 weeks with four 1-hour synchronous lectures over Zoom on Friday mornings. Between the weekly lectures, participants MUST consult recommended videos available through the Udemy workshop, “Wordpress for Beginners - Master Wordpress Quickly” taught by Andrew Williams. These videos will cover essential information that will not be covered in the lectures but is key to building your ePortfolio. A Moodle site will also exist. Udemy course link: https://concordia.udemy.com/course/wordpress-for-beginners-course/ ~~~ In this workshop you will learn to: - Acquire a domain, design a site map, and build a basic Wordpress website - Explore themes and tools to customize a website using best practices - Create an ePortfolio featuring your projects, biographical statement, and contact information ~~~ This workshop is led by Maya Hey. Maya Hey is a Vanier scholar (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) and PhD candidate (ABD) in Communication Studies at Concordia University. She was also a Concordia Public Scholar (2018-2019), aiming to bridge the gap between academic research, industry professionals, and media makers.

Concerned about the publication process and what it might look like for you and your research? Join members of the Concordia University research and publishing community with peer review experience in various disciplines, to get the inside scoop on what’s expected and what to expect. ~~~ ~~~ This Roundtable includes the following panelists: Zeynep Arsel is an Associate Professor of Marketing at John Molson School of Business. Her research focuses on consumption with a sociological, anthropological, and historical focus and covered contexts such as hipsters, coffee, people’s attachment to businesses, crowdsourcing, social media influencers, and COVID-19. She serves as Associate Editor for two journals: Journal of Consumer Research and Consumption Markets & Culture. She is also the co-editor of the book Taste, Consumption, and Markets (Routledge). Zeynep has served as a reviewer or editor for more than 200 manuscripts and hopes she has never acted like the infamous Reviewer B. Matthew Barker is Department Chair, August 2018 - July 2021. Much of his research is aimed at uncovering and answering philosophical questions about scientific categories. Some of these questions are quite general, e.g., investigating ways in which categories can vary in their objectivity, and how norms of scientific reasoning influence conclusions drawn about categories. Other questions zoom in on specific categories, such as species and individual in biology, and well-being and humility in psychology. His work also takes up connected issues, including ethical concerns about biotechnology and the environment, the role that values must and should play in science, and how to infer probabilities of hypotheses from existing data. His primary research areas are philosophy of biology, general philosophy of science, and philosophy of psychology; secondarily he sometimes works on virtue ethics and applied ethics, and the history of the philosophy of science. His teaching also focuses on all those areas. He has published in The Journal of Philosophy, Mind, The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, Philosophical Topics, Cognitive Systems Research, The Journal of Applied Philosophy, The Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Philosophy Theory and Practice in Biology, and other scholarly venues. Dr. Mihaela Iordanova is an Associate Professor at Concordia University, a Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Behavioural Neuroscience, and a 2016 NARSAD Young Investigator. She obtained a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons) and a PhD from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia where she studied the role of dopamine and opioid receptors in aversive prediction error. Following her doctoral work, she examined how established memories can be updated by imbuing them aversive valence (Cardiff University) or by downregulating previously established expectations (National Institute on Drug Abuse, University of Maryland). She employs a variety of behavioural designs informed my theoretical frameworks in conjunction with recording and modulatory neuroscience techniques (chemogentics, otpogenetics, neuropharmacology). In her own lab, Dr. Iordanova focuses on studying the role of dopamine in appetitive and aversive prediction error, as well as cortico-amygdala regulation of memory updating in fear and reward. Dr. Iordanova is on the editorial board for eLife and Scientific Reports and is an associate editor for the Journal of Neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience, Learning & Behavior, Frontier in Behavioral Neuroscience and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition. In 2020, Dr. Iordanova was the recipient of the Canadian Association for Neuroscience Young Investigator Award. Ryan Van Huijstee has worked in scholarly book publishing for over a decade and is currently an acquisitions editor at Concordia University Press. He previously worked at McGill-Q

Working remotely requires new approaches to managing communication and coordinating daily activities, thus unlocking the potential to consider such transition as a process, not a fixed point in time. Grounded in the practical knowledge gained while working with geographically dispersed teams, this virtual seminar introduces graduate students to the lessons learnt from the open source communities and office-less start-ups and help apply them in the context of their own research projects. ~~~ By the end of this introductory-level seminar, students will: • Understand the significance of project management methods, platforms and other work collaboration tools to support virtual teams. • Explore best practices on managing their research and project data remotely as well as how to provision the right infrastructure. • Become familiar with types of virtual teams and techniques on leading such teams, navigating obstacles and building trust. • Learn about setting up a system for communicating with team members, including opportunities for spontaneous communication and ways to communicate tone and personality when working remotely. ~~~ Yuliya Kondratenko, PMP, PMI-ACP is a seasoned professional with eleven years of experience in the field of post-secondary education.
