This project is significant due to the scant amount of Canadian research on this topic. The hidden role of PNs prior to 1940 is discussed, followed by an examination of socio-political contexts that encouraged their development in Canada. Subsequently, PN education and their emerging role in health care in BC is explored. Of relevance to BC, the significant delay in legislation is addressed, as well as organized responses by groups, such as several BC government ministries, the national and BC Registered Nurses Associations, the hospital union and the PNs themselves. Nursing relations, such as registered nurses endorsement of and collaboration with PNs, as well as themes of power and tension amongst practical and registered nurses are explored.

In the summer of 2020, I taught Human Sexuality for Health Professionals. It was my first time designing a course from scratch, and I unexpectedly had to teach online, which was new to me. This presentation will address two topics: first is the online techniques and practices that I found beneficial as an online instructor and as well as based on student feedback. I had some preparation for online teaching through a CELT course, however there was still much practicing ahead of time, learning ‘on the fly’ as well as re-evaluating the things that did not go well! The second topic that I will discuss is about the course assignment, which had four parts, all of which built upon the previous and replaced exams that I would normally ...

Keynote: In 2020, all of higher education was forced to confront the challenges and possibilities of online learning. What had been the province of the early adopter or the niche course or program has now become something that just about everybody has some experience with. But what will that mean for future online delivery and practices? And what do the ongoing crises of the pandemic and contemporary politics teach us about the internet? How can we use that information to help make decisions about what our university spaces should look like for through 2021 and beyond, particularly as corporate vendors descend on our classrooms? This three part keynote will frame these questions, then open up discussion about them in a shared panel session open to your input
