Five co-op students are working in the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development (SEED) this term with faculty and staff to arrange on-line social events for our students and to assist with the preparation of on-line courses. We asked them to provide three pieces of information about themselves.
Sam Rehan
Program: 3rd Year - Environment and Business
Position: Online Engagement Ambassador (OEA)
I look forward to learning how to best create a supportive digital environment when we are so heavily reliant on technology. I also hope to meet people and make friends from all corners of the world while connecting with them online
Fun Fact: Potpies are my biggest weakness.
Angela Lin
Program: 3rd Year - Environmental Sciences/Ecology
Position: Senior Online Learning Assistant (SOLA)
As a SOLA, I hope to participate and submit exciting projects that would allow me to advance my skills that I have been developing through my academic and professional career. As the term progresses, virtual communication would be a skill that I hope to learn and improve more as it would become more applicable in a society that depends on technologies.
Fun Fact: One of the things on my bucket list is to go either bungee jumping or sky diving (I love the thrill!)
Daniel Gaspar

Position: Online Learning Assistant (OLA)
I hope to learn about the online learning environment as the world becomes more dependant on digital interactions, specifically how to deliver course content so it is accessible for all. I also will enjoy peeking at the readings from the courses that I am helping to deliver.
Fun Fact: I never learned how to do a kickflip despite my skateboarding phase.
Oneeb Khan
Program: 3rd Year - Environment and Business.
Position: Online Learning Assistant (OLA)
Something that I'm hoping to learn from this OLA opportunity is how to effectively and efficiently teach or demonstrate a new concept to a student.
Fun Fact: my favorite TV show is The Office, and I've watched the whole show 7 times!
