Self-Determination in Indigenous Online Education
OTESSA Conference Proceedings, Paper presented at the Open/Technology in Education, Society, and Scholarship Association (OTESSA) Conference (Alberta, Canada, May 31-Jun 3, 2021)
There is a pressing need, as outlined in the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, to promote success for Indigenous learners in higher education. One pathway towards greater participation and success may be to empower Indigenous learners to engage with open source digital tools and platforms that promote digital self-determination. This review of the literature will explore the concept of digital self-determination through examples of Indigenous communities claiming control over the infrastructure that serves their homes.
