We create platforms, systems
and facilitation approaches
to empower community knowledge creation and collaboration.
oneLouder has been around since 2011 and seeks to operate at the conceptual hinge point between contemporary, inclusive and evidence-driven curriculum, facilitation & pedagogy, and the innovative, technically complex landscape enabled by networked devices. oneLouder emphasizes a design approach that fosters creativity and agency on the part of the learner, service and best practice from the perspective of technology design, and harmony and integration in regard to our partnerships with our clients, aimed at a positive and sustainable collective impact on both educator and learner.
We aim to deliver platforms and innovative facilitation approaches built upon the best possible evidence. From critical pedagogy to UDL to participatory design, we work to find harmony between people and technology, delivering systems designed at their core to enhance and enable Communities of Practice.
Dashi is our flagship Nonprofit and CoP (Community of Practice) Platform, designed around an extensive review of
organizational technical capacities, sectoral priorities and organizational learning needs at community and nonprofit organizations. Dashi helps to bring
your strategic planning in line with your project planning, knowledge management, project reporting, strategic communications, and strategic finanacial frameworks
and helps to make all of your community data available to stakeholders via custom dashboards.
From K-12 to community-centric adult education in both official languages, our consultants
have decades of experience designing around the most critical and contemporary pedagogical
constructs, incorporating participatory design, skills and competencies, and inquiry based learning
in the design of our programs and solutions.
We have expertise in educational framework and curriculum alignment, facilitated professional
development experiences, and deployment of innovative technical solutions to empower
communities of practice.
Interaction with rich data sources from a variety of media enables authentic engagement
with a community’s knowledge through multiple ways of knowing. We design custom dashboards
and other data visualization tools to meet your community's data needs, enabling inquiry,
knowledge synthesis, and action.
EoViz is our Data and Science Collaboration Platform. It's been designed over two decades of thinking
about how best to bring people, data, research assets, collaborative partnerships and the Internet of Things (IoT) together
using an online platform for communities of practice engaged in shared scientific inquiry.
Informed by several decades of progressive experience and education
in K-12 pedagogy and curriculum, and in post-secondary, adult and community
education sectors, our consultants apply best practices in the design of learning
experiences and facilitated group work, tailored to meet your community of practice’s professional development
and strategic planning needs. We design facilitated custom workshops to build capacity, support collaboration
and transform practice, including, but certainly not limited to: STEM, SOAR-based strategic planning, climate change and
sustainability adaptation education, inquiry-based learning using digital tools, and citizen science.

Understanding where best to put your collaboration efforts can help your team avoid wasted energy and poorly spent social capital. Our custom platforms and our flagship products, Dashi and EoViz, are designed to empower your staff and communities to work more closely and effectively, and have more comprehensible impacts, by leveraging evidence-driven approaches to online collaboration, shared creativity and network/digital asset mapping. Users can find new and unique ways in which their data are interwoven and connected with their own organizational story - often better leveraging existing knowledge systems and larger strategic narratives.
As learners increasingly look to integrate their education efforts into their professional and personal
presence online, Frameworks for Qualification and Competency Frameworks enable us to share a common
language, clarifying goal setting, strengthening asset and needs analysis, and better defining educational objectives, development programming and training needs.
At oneLouder, we have significant experience working to build programs, systems and platforms that play well with others,
routinely designing to various sets of standards and technical/guild/trade knowledge complinace guidelines as well as newly emerging, responsive and innovative competencies frameworks.
Partnership with Canada Research Chair in Translocal Learning
Working with Canada Research Chair Dr J. Langdon, and several national stakeholders,
we designed and built Translocal Learning as a platform for collaboration and for sharing learning resources and
knowledge as a functional component of the CRC Trans Local Learning project.
We also assembled and successfully tested a portable and easy to use rig for free, rapid and accessible livecasting which has
been used by several groups partnering with the CRC Project to webcast key community events.
Social Justice Web Radio Platform
SJR is a custom podcasting and onliine radio platform, built as part of an ongoing partnership with StFX Development Studies. This project also included custom technical learning programming for students new to the project.
