Tapestry Tool creates space for accessible and engaged hybrid learning
15 July, 2022
Remote teaching platforms frequently delivered an unfulfilling experience with an inflexible linear model of learning that fell short of accommodating the full range of student needs. Rather than reconnecting us and reinvigorating the learning process, the experiences were often frustrating for teachers and students alike, exacerbating feelings of isolation and lacking a rich, dynamic and inclusive learning environment.
Dr. Steven Barnes, Associate Professor of Teaching in UBC’s Department of Psychology and Director of the Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience, discusses how the open-source online learning platform he created, Tapestry Tool, provides an enhanced collaborative experience that aims to create equitable access to educational opportunities, as well as how it has been used to deliver patient-oriented research and helped young people with disabilities to find meaningful employment.
