Overview
Failure: Learning in Progress (FLIP) is project based at the University of Toronto that provides open educational resources on failure resilience in higher education. It examines pedagogical struggle and failure utilizing an equity-focused approach, exploring how the opportunities and consequences of failure fall unevenly in the lives of first-generation, international, Indigenous, and racialized students. Since its inception in 2018, the project has been conducting original studies, publishing research articles, and developing resources for instructors and students alike.
I joined the FLIP project in 2022 as a research assistant and web developer working under the principal investigator, Dr. Fiona Rawle. My role was to develop a platform to house the project’s resources and create an online presence so that educators, students, administrators, and other researchers could benefit from the team’s work.
