Project Team Members
A number of people contributed to the completion of this eCampus Pressbook. I would like to thank them for their tireless efforts.
Jillian Holland-Penney, MA, worked for the duration of the project while completing her MA degree at the University of Windsor. After completion of her degree in January 2022, she moved into a full-time role for the last 3 months of the project. Her various contributions include serving as project manager, research and development of Pressbook content, co-editor of all materials, and co-author of most chapters. The successful completion of the project would not have been possible without her hard-work and dedication.
Nobuko Fujita, PhD (Office of Open Learning, University of Windsor), played an integral role in the development of the eCampusOntario funding application and bringing the project through to fruition. Throughout the project she provided technical and administrative support, including her expertise with the Pressbook platform, helping to implement my vision for this book.
Jacqueline Durocher and Brandon Bernardon both worked on the projects as research associates while completing their MA degrees at the University of Windsor. As part of their contributions to the project, they conducted research, developed audio-video resources, and co-authored chapters.
Dave Cormier, Patrick Carnevale, Madelyn Poulin and Mikayla Paesano (Office of Open Learning, University of Windsor), through their expertise with the Pressbook platform, helped to implement my vision for this book.
Beth A. Robertson, PhD, through her work as EDDI and copy-editor, played an integral role in providing feedback on ways to improve earlier versions of the book.
Shreyas Tambe (Office of Open Learning, University of Windsor) provided support for video post-production.
Alicia Higgison provided essential administrative and accounting support for the project.
I also want to acknowledge the tireless efforts of my spouse Minde Lawson, who during the pandemic provided me with at home technical and IT services, and who assisted with the creation of audio/visual materials for this course
