Welcome to Tapestry! A UBC-based tool that will enable a novel development model for online course content: One that is learner-centered, constructivist and that emphasizes student-faculty co-creation of knowledge. Tapestry will allow for greater collaborative functionality in developing branching, remixable (e.g., a user can reorder, add, or remove elements, based on their needs), and extensible interactive online-modules. The tool will also enhance student-faculty co-creation, and the quality and sustainability of online courseware.
Tapestry consists of an interdisciplinary team of students, professors, and faculty who work to create and develop the tool, and produce content in the form of educational modules. While these educational modules have been used and tested in UBC courses, the tool is developed to be used in many different classroom settings. Therefore, instructors will be able to create their own customizable Tapestries using their classroom content.
Our blog will consist of more detailed updates regarding Tapestry’s development process as well as different aspects of the project! We also share updates on our Twitter page and on our monthly Newsletter. If you would like to learn more about the project, please visit our website.
