Begin using your new password immediately when you receive it. Your old password will no longer work in Ufile.
Note that even though it will take a month for your EFile renewal for the next year to be approved, for the remainder of the calendar year you can continue filing authorizations, using AFR and Represent a Client and EFiling returns under the current year's approval. But you MUST use the new password.

It depends if the objective of the course is to contribute thoughtful contributions or if it is edTech.

small ways that they can reclaim some agency over their personal information
I am starting to wonder if even small amounts of agency are an illusion. does our choice now lie between being painfully aware of the risks and deciding to ignore them as long as they don't bite us?

what I would have done in college if I had been given a clear opportunity to digitize my reading notes
I lost a network drive with my only copy of much of my work. Online storage was at a premium when we had very low data caps. And digitizing simply wasn't a feasible option in the early 90s when I threw away a heavy cardboard file with all my notes from the early 70s. (OWM here)
-
Many digital files have become obsolete with unreadable file extensions
So much creative flash from the early 2000s is now lost. "Digitizing the Ancestors" (Strathman, 2019) details significant works that have been lost.

the fact of being strict or severe.
I"m struck with this being the operational outcome of all the talk around rigour. Institutionally, rigour is touted as necessary for credentials to have credibility or for articulation agreements. But in the classroom it simply equates to making learning difficult in the mistaken belief that creating difficulty is effective gatekeeping.

Indigenous-specific land pedagogies are embedded directly within the respective lands stewarded by Indigenous Peoples.
This is one reason attempts at concocting pan-Indigenous generalizations will fail. From this paper, it seems hower, that global Indigenous consensus on some points is very possible. This is far different from "outsiders' making generalizing pronnouncements

People living in rural areas frequently have their cancer diagnosed at a later stage
I owe my diagnosis - even though late - to a nurse who disregarded the practice of not testing PSA. That the nurse was later convicted of trafficking in child pornography does not change the fact that he prolonged my life. Without his initiative, I would not have been diagnosed until I became ill

when we assume we will be able to access a particular fact online, we’re less likely to commit it to memory
I think that largely depends on how important that fact was to us. Also repeated accessing of the same online fact fixes it in my memory

when students have formed a more solid base of knowledge—such as through retrieval practice—they are more able to engage in processes like inference and extension, not less
that's what I would have guessed, but i'm also thinking how they have been led to form the solid base of knowledge has a lot of influence on how much they are willing to engage processes beyond retention and retrieval

Implementing UDL principles with social annotation
I've been promoting Hypothes.is, but had not considered it before in conjunction with UDL. More reasons to help persuade faculty it isn't just a novelty.
-
provides an unobtrusive way for faculty to focus on student reading and interpretation in any course
provides additional ways of engaging the text by responding both to the text and to others interpretations of the text.
-
social annotation helps students frame reading as a dialog, not a one-sided hunt for knowledge.
conversations and even narratives can exist in annotations
-

Another example of how time to reflect brings in voices that are excluded from a "lively discussion" in class.
-
They may link to an image or map online that they think will help their fellow students better understand the reading
Or they may make such images a private annotation to assist themselves if they are reluctant to share it publicly - especially at the beginning before they have seen other examples of public sharing. Note: instructors can take a lead in providing such examples.

I tried reading this aloud to my wife and could not control my giggling when I came to the last sentence. Vainly I tried several times but just burst out in uncontrollable, breath-robbing laughter. I was about to copy it and text her when I finally managed to choke out the last five words one at a time. Tears are still rolling down my cheeks.

Write your own version of “the lion’s share” with humans instead of animals as the characters
Columbus and the islanders made a mutual discovery of each other. They sat down to divide the island and the living bodies. Columbus said, I'll take the highlands because I represent the highest civilization. I will take the coast lands because I made the longest ocean voyage to these shores. I will take the lowlands simply because I can. And all your bodies belong to me because you now live on my land. You can have what's left, he added magnanimously.

My interest was sparked during Open Education Week when I almost randomly picked a lightning talk session from the University of Alberta, and happened to hear about a project there aimed at bringing educational content to remote parts of the Northwest Territories. They shared a platform called Nimble 1 originally developed for use in South Africa (does anyone know more about this?). I heard that the current project from University of Alberta was able to run Pressbooks/H5P from this platform.
I am part of this and would love to discuss it with any of you. It reminds me somewhat of @cogdog biking across the west with a wifi box some years ago..

Sometimes perhaps you don’t want to be a part of me. Nor do I often want to be a part of you.
Can I allow this freedom to myself (as the white prof) and to participants who are, at least in part, not like me?
