Indigenous Canada is a 12-lesson Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the Faculty of Native Studies that explores the different histories and contemporary perspectives of Indigenous peoples living in Canada.

From an Indigenous perspective, this course explores complex experiences Indigenous peoples face today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations.

Indigenous Canada is for students from faculties outside the Faculty of Native Studies with an interest in acquiring a basic familiarity with Indigenous/non-Indigenous relationships.

Introduction to Affirming Spaces is a series of three course modules for healthcare providers that offer insight into fostering affirming healthcare practices that better serve trans and gender-diverse patients in Alberta. The training is free and administered by a collection of healthcare practitioners, academic and community-based researchers, activists, community members, university professors, and sexual health educators.

This course is designed to equip learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to engage effectively with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, in the context of clinical research.

Focusing on developing cultural competencies, this course emphasizes the importance of approaching conversations with humility, curiosity, and respect. Through self-reflection and guided discussions, learners will leave the course with a deeper understanding of cultural competency and practical skills needed to navigate and enrich diverse research environments. 

Some of the topics covered in the course are: unconscious bias, culturally inclusive communication and inclusive behaviours. The course is intended for anyone who is engaged in clinical research, in any capacity. 

We recognize that diversity encompasses many dimensions, including gender, sexuality, and disabilities. However, the focus of this course is specifically on cultural diversity, aiming to equip clinical research professionals with practical skills for navigating and respecting cultural differences in their work.

Module 1: Building Foundations

Learn how to create work and learning spaces where diverse students, staff, and faculty can thrive. You will be introduced to one of the foundational frameworks used to ensure access, community, and belonging: the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) framework.

Module 2: Exploring Practices

Move beyond simply naming collective injustices and individual harms by challenging us to lean into practices that create belonging, cultivate healing, and generate new possibilities. You will also be introduced to seven values-based practices.

Grounded in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, this micro-course introduces key anti-racism concepts that are applied to various sectors (education, social services, and the policing and legal system). By using real world case studies and Indigenous led content to provide learners with Indigenous perspectives and experiences, this micro-course points to successful efforts to tackle issues related to structural racism in Canada.

This microcredential series introduces students to the intricate connections between science and technology fields, broader dynamics of colonialism, and increasing demands for Indigenous governance of science and technology. Designed for professionals who work in science and ethics-related fields, these courses provide tangible examples of how non-Indigenous based science has had real-world consequences for Indigenous communities. By highlighting Indigenous accomplishments in the field, these courses outline how to lessen structural barriers for Indigenous science to flourish and how a relational framework is a decolonial way to partner well with Indigenous peoples.

There are three microcredential courses in this series:

1. Indigenous Peoples as Subjects/Objects (prerequisite for the series),

2. Indigenous Peoples as Collaborators and

3. Indigenous Peoples as Scientists.
