| dc.description.abstract | Labyrinth Learning – A 360 Degree Community Service Digital Ecology is a Master’s
Portfolio organized around the Lakehead Labyrinth Project at Lakehead University’s campus
between 2017-2022. With text, images, video, audio and 360-degree imagery centered around
the outdoor Wellness Path Labyrinth built on Lakehead’s Thunder Bay campus this 360-degree
digital ecology will eventually land as a QR code on a forthcoming interpretative plaque. The
text layer of Labyrinth Learning contains a literature synthesis, exploring the history of
Labyrinths and how human cultures have learned with them throughout the ages. The 360-degree
base images of the Labyrinth shares the story of the Lakehead Wellness Path Labyrinth outside
the Bora Laskin Faculty of Education through interactive educational portals. And to round out
the Portfolio, at the core of the 360-degree Digital Ecology, podcast links to the 12-episode pilot
of CILU Radio’s Labyrinth Learning program are arranged like the hour markers of a clock
around the centre of the Labyrinth. Labyrinth Learning is a campus and community radio show I
created and hosted which aired every Wednesday and Saturday at 1 pm through the fall of 2022
on 102.7fm. Professors across 11 different disciplines, from Education to English, Indigenous
Learning and Anthropology, Psychology to Philosophy, Social Work and Social Justice, Natural
Resource Management to History and Health Sciences speak on this show about their learning
journeys through the metaphor of the Labyrinth in these hour-long open-form educational
conversations. The intent is for both the 360-degree Labyrinth Learning Digital Ecology portal
and the CILU radio show to continue beyond the scope of this Master’s portfolio. | en_US |
