Dr. Gordon Gow Mobilizes Technology to Address Development Issues Sri Lanka and India. It received funding (approx. $300k) from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and was administered in Sri Lanka by LIRNEasia, the same agency that Dr. Gow worked with on his project to implement and assess community-based tsunami warning systems following the 2004 tsunami disaster..

The primary research objective of the Real-time Biosurveillance Program (RTBP) was to evaluate the role that information and communication technologies could play in improving disease monitoring, detection, and reporting in Sri Lanka. The RTBP established a testbed to duplicate existing paper-based procedures using ICT-based components.

Patient data was gathered using a software application implemented on low cost mobile phones and transmitted to a central server using a wireless data link. Data was analyzed using advanced software developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s Auton Lab. Results were then made available to regional and local health officials as electronic alerts accessible through a variety of devices, including mobile phones. The objective Dr. Gordon Gow

of this project was to identify disease outbreaks in as little as 24 hours, as compared to the two to three weeks

Dr. Gordon Gow Mobilizes Technology to Address Development Issues (continued)

Dr. Gow was involved in this project in a number of ways. One was the RTBP alerting component, building on work that began in 2005 when Dr. Gow was working with LIRNEasia on community-based tsunami warning. Both projects have been pioneering efforts in the deployment and testing of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), an open source data interchange standard that supports the development of multimedia,

The implementation of the RTBP alerting and notification component will provide important evidence regarding the opportunities and challenges associated with inter-jurisdictional alerting and notification for e-Health systems in the region. The project formally concluded in

One of the greatest challenges facing governments today is the effective delivery of health and social services for low-income families. Most public funding is distributed to particular sectors and departments, to address single- faceted issues . As a result, most programs geared to Albertans with low income are fragmented, with little integration across systems.

Sept. 2010 with a series of meetings in Colombo.

Dr. Gow’s work on the project has implications here in Canada as well. His experience with the Common Alerting Protocol has led to ongoing involvement with the federal government and Alberta provincial governments as they continue to develop next generation public alerting systems based on CAP. As one aspect of Dr. Gow’s ongoing involvement

How is it to experience such disconnected services on a daily basis? What changes are needed to improve service integration and delivery and, as a result, health outcomes for families?

in this area of research, he is Principal Investigator on a SSHRC Standard Research Grant on emergency alerting at Canadian post-secondary educational institutions. He also has a growing involvement with the use

To answer these questions the Families First Edmonton (FFE) Photovoice Project was initiated by the CommunityUniversity Partnership for the Study of Children, Youth, and Families (CUP) unit within the Faculty of Extension. Ten mothers with low income were asked to chronicle their experiences trying to access health and social service practices in pictures and words. This is a recognized qualitative research technique known as Photovoice.

He is leading an initiative through the MACT program, in which he teaches graduate courses, to build research capacity and expertise in using mobile phones to support research activities.

research team and the women themselves to a broad range of audiences. The stories were so engaging that the women were unable to keep up with the requests for presentations. Therefore, the women and the research team decided to create a short documentary film. The film, titled Bureaucrazy, was developed as a knowledge translation tool for policy and decision-makers, service providers, students and others interested in improving the provision of health and social services in Alberta.

The project was led by Dr. Maria Mayan, Assistant Director of CUP and in charge of the Women and Children’s Health section.

Dr. Mayan states that “Clients of our many social services are generally silent in all the discussions that go on related to these services. Photovoice lets their voices be heard and enables them to be engaged in action for change.”

The Photovoice Project was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Native Counselling Services of Alberta.

Early Childhood Development in First Nations Communities

The five First Nations represent three unique language groups

each with distinct cultural practices and protocols for raising their young children and engaging in research. Presently, early childhood developmental data is being collected throughout the province of Alberta using the Early Development Instrument (EDI; Janus & Offord, 2007). The EDI is a population measurement tool completed by kindergarten teachers to measure the developmental health of 5-year-old children across five domains. Results from the EDI provide communities with evidence to support resource development and allocation that optimize child development. Within First Nations, EDI data is often incomplete as it does not reflect important domains of development such as dual cultural development, language, and spirituality. As a partnership, the goal is to complement the early childhood development information that is currently being collected in the five First Nations to reflect the values, culture context, and spirituality that are important in raising their young children.

Faculty of Extension’s Third Annual Research Showcase

Dr. Budd Hall

200 people participated in various roundtable discussions, lectures, panels, and poster presentations.

The Research Showcase, which over the past three years has become a signature event for research in the Faculty of Extension, was held March 11, 2010 at Enterprise Square and the Delta City Centre hotel. This year it was combined with a conference on CommunityEngaged Research. About

Keynote speaker Dr. Budd Hall, founding Director of the University of Victoria’s Office of Community Based Research, introduced the theme and set the tone for the day. The sessions and lectures of the day were all based around the various dimensions of engaged research within communities and institutions of higher education across Canada and elsewhere. Topics addressed include community-based research, community service-learning, continuing education and extension, cooperative education, indigenous-centered research, performing arts, and knowledge mobilization.

Master of Arts in Communications and Technology (MACT) Research Symposium Each year, in conjunction with its Spring Institute, the MACT program holds a Research Symposium where MACT students are able to showcase their research with posters mounted in the Atrium of Enterprise Square. In 2010 the Symposium was held on May 21, with 20 posters describing student research. MACT student Simone Moreau-Rodgers said, “I am just so pleased that we have the opportunity as a cohort to showcase our work not only to each other and our instructors, but to the public as well.”

The Symposium also featured a lecture from Dr. Linda Putnam from the Department of Communications at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her topic was “Models of Engaged Scholarship: Developing the Research Paradigm.” The Symposium also included a panel discussion among Jeff Bisanz, Director of the Community-University Partnership (CUP) at the University of Alberta, Lois Hawkins, Deputy Minister of Culture and Community Spirit with the Government of Alberta and Sheila Pratt, Journalist with the Edmonton Journal.

City-Region Studies Centre (CRSC) Engaging with Communities to Shape our Region The CRSC also hosted these two major events during 2010:

The City-Region Studies Centre (CRSC) is a University of Alberta research unit based in the Faculty of Extension that engages with communities to explore the nature of towns, cities, and regions. During 2010 the Centre was highly active in a number of ways, including:

Shaping Our Region – a one day symposium on June 25 in Edmonton in collaboration with the Capital Region Board (CRB). This event brought together an array of international academic expertise with local elected officials, planners and community developers. The symposium provided a forum of reflection as the CRB moves to adopt an economic development roadmap for the region.

• Sponsored research work, including publishing the results of a study of Urban Rural Interdependencies • Publishing the semiannual CURB magazine, an academic and practitioner publication addressing the core challenges facing city-regions in Canada and elsewhere

Unwrap the Research Conference – a conference held in Fort McMurray on October 22-24. This event brought together social researchers from the University of Alberta and elsewhere with local community participants from Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo. Researchers shared their knowledge and discussed with the local participants such issues as welfare, health, environment, various aspects of the workforce, space and housing, population growth, and other issues in this unique region.

• Organizing a Regional Planning Speaker Series designed to bring together leaders in the academy with an audience of planners, elected officials and the wider development community

During the year CURB Magazine ran a photo contest that produced a plethora of interesting and sometimes beautiful images of the Edmonton region. Here are some of the results of that technique of disseminating knowledge.
