In August 2024, the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) organised a workshop in Kenya, bringing together participants from various countries to explore the use of open-source tools like STACK and WebWork in mathematics education. Santiago and David reflect on how the event facilitated meaningful collaborations between African and international educators, offering insights into the unique challenges and opportunities within low-resource environments. The workshop highlighted the importance of layered ownership of educational resources and the potential for cross-contextual learning, with participants from high-resource settings gaining valuable perspectives from their African counterparts.
In this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky speaks to Vahagn Sargsyan, Founder of WebWork, about why it's important to get metrics right for remote work.You can learn about WebWork at https://www.webwork-tracker.com/
In the first episode of our fourth series, we welcome CLiFF (Canadian Labour International Film Festival board members, Lorene Oikawa and Derek Blackadder and George Brown College faculty and organizer with the Labour Fair, Kathryn Payne. We discuss the importance of bringing labour education to post-secondary and wider communities through the 31st annual Labour Fair at Toronto's George Brown College (organized by the School of Labour and the Tommy Douglas Institute) and its collaboration with the Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLiFF). This episode sets the stage for the re-airing of major Labour Fair events on this podcast as well as on rabbleTV over the coming weeks. Reflecting on the Labour Fair at George Brown College, Payne says: “The Labour Fair initially was meant to make sure that working class students .. had some knowledge of the unions in their sectors so .. they could find folks who could help them out and who could represent them. And also teach them the basics of organizing. Right? I mean, the main thing that we are always teaching is that we are stronger as a collective.…Our theme this year is P3s, so Pandemic, Privatization, and Precarity. But in our conversations, both with teachers and amongst each other, we've also sort of added a fourth P, which is the Planet.” Speaking to the importance of CLiFF in these times, Blackadder says: “Its ongoing relevance is that it shows working people a mirror. .. it lets them look at a film that represents them in some way, shape or form.That will allow them to ..make that connection that in that bigger world, workers have a great deal more in common, than they do those things that divide us.” Oikawa points to issues that demand attention: “There's still that issue about workers' rights, workers' safety, having fair wages, safe workplaces for workers - ongoing, still needs scrutiny. Environmental issues… That's the brilliance of CLiFF. A number of issues will continue to be reflected in the films that we show at our labor Film Festival, but have been shown as well….There's never a point where, ‘oh, we're done. We don't need to know our history.' We have to continue to know our history.” About today's guests: Lorene Oikawa is on the board of the Canadian Labour International Film Festival and helps organize screenings in British Columbia. She started volunteering for CLiFF in its inaugural year, 15 years ago. She is past president on the board of the National Association of Japanese Canadians and a human rights activist. Lorene is a fourth generation Japanese Canadian and a descendant of survivors of the forced uprooting, dispossession, incarceration, and exile from 1942 to 1949. She is a co-editor of the book, Honouring Our People: Breaking the Silence. She was the first Asian Canadian executive vice president for the BC Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU). Derek Blackadder spent over 30 years working for several trade unions in a variety of roles. He currently volunteers with LabourStart, writes the Webwork column for Our Times Magazine, is Co-Chair of the Northumberland (ON) Coalition for Social Justice and is a contributor to RadioLabour. He combines his commitment to the labour movement and his love of film by serving on the board of the Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLiFF). Kathryn Payne is a full-time educator in the School of Labour at George Brown College in Toronto. Her areas of interest include labour and working class culture, women's work, diversity and sexuality studies, colonialism, and neoliberalism. Her work for the School of Labour is multifaceted: she designs curricula, liaises with union educators, teaches General Education courses at George Brown, and helps organize the annual George Brown Labour Fair. She has also been active in the sex worker rights movement, queer activism and was one of the founding members of George Brown's Positive Space Campaign.

WebWork Time Tracker has been gradually expanding the scope of its functionalities into becoming a task management and collaboration platform.Initially a time tracker, WebWork has features for time tracking, attendance monitoring, app and website usage, screenshots, activity and productivity monitoring, reports, and more. Now WebWork is also a task management platform, where users can assign and work with tasks, discuss them in the built-in chat, plan time off and do much more.WebWork Is Launching New FeaturesWebWork is introducing new features that are turning the tool into more than a time tracker. The founder Vahagn Sargsyan says they add new features based on their users' requests and suggestions. “We like listening to our users and considering their suggestions. In fact, we encourage them to share their thoughts on the product, as they are the end users and they can notice things that we won't, despite being constantly in contact with the tool”.“We've recently launched our communication features, which we're very excited about. Now our users can move their communication to WebWork. Those teams that manage their tasks and track time on WebWork, can now also chat and call on WebWork”, says Vahagn. Team ChatWebWork now has Team Chat, where users can communicate, both privately and in groups. The feature allows for creating channels for team-wide chats and keeping it private for individual chats. Moreover, the chat allows an unlimited number of users, so teams of all sizes can use this feature. Video Calls (Beta)Other than chatting, teams can now also hold video meetings on WebWork. The feature is still in beta but will soon be available to all users. They can hold meetings both for discussing work or informal chatting. There is also a whiteboard that team members can use.HR Tools “As we are turning WebWork into an all-in-one tool, we are also incorporating features for HR. As of now they are Holiday and Leave Management”, says Vahagn. Leave ManagementThe Leave Management feature allows HR to manage the process of assigning time off in a more organized way. WebWork assures that there is a lower chance of man-made mistakes, as the process is automated and no paper is involved. In the same way, employees can ask for leave themselves and the HR will only need to approve. This way the process is much faster and more accurate.HolidaysThe holiday feature allows teams to add their public holidays to the workspace so that WebWork Bot can later notify and congratulate the team. It will also inform them whether the day is working or non-working.What's Coming Next?Starting from a mere time tracker to a much bigger tool than it is now, we still have big plans for it. In fact, the bigger WebWork gets, the more work we have to do. We are listening to our users and are doing everything to provide them with the best experience”, says Vahagn. Payroll systemWebWork will soon have a payroll system so users can pay and get paid right inside WebWork. “Users will no longer have to use other tools. Now they will be able to do all work on one platform, starting from tracking time, to managing tasks and to being paid”, sums up the founder. Final word
