This document outlines the results of a survey of college faculty concerning their participation in research activity. More than 2,000 faculty members, representing 90 publicly-funded colleges in all 10 provinces and one territory, responded to the web-based questionnaire during a 10-week period early in 2007.
Between December 2010 and January 2012, Ontario’s College Sector Committee (CSC) carried out a project on “blended delivery” of adult upgrading (AU) and literacy and basic skills (LBS) programs, an approach that combines traditional classroom instruction with web-based learning.
This brief document summarizes the components and findings of a project undertaken by Ontario’s College Sector Committee (CSC) with the goal of providing that province’s colleges with the resources to provide “blended delivery” of adult upgrading (AU) and literacy and basic skills (LBS) programs.
This resource guide is one component of a project aimed at helping Ontario’s colleges provide “blended delivery” of adult upgrading (AU) and literacy and basic skills (LBS) programs, an approach that combines traditional classroom instruction with online learning.
This handbook is part of a larger College Sector Committee (CSC) project aimed at ensuring that pre-apprenticeship students receive an Academic Upgrading (AU) component tailored to their trade and seamlessly connected with the trade component of their program. It is aimed at professors who are required to integrate AU into pre-apprenticeship or pre-trades programs in Ontario’s community colleges.
This report is the result of a project aimed at ensuring that pre-apprenticeship students in Ontario’s colleges are getting an Academic Upgrading (AU) component tailored to their trade and seamlessly connected to the trade component of the program. It outlines the current state of integration between AU and Apprenticeship for Pre-Apprenticeship programming along with the effective practices that are being used at the faculty level.
This report offers an assessment of the current state of “blended delivery” in Ontario’s college-based adult upgrading (AU) and literacy and basic skills (LBS) programs.
Blended delivery refers to courses that combine face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning. Such an approach, also known as hybrid delivery, is used to maximize both student learning and physical resources.
This literature review is part of a project designed to provide Ontario’s 24 colleges of applied arts and technology with the resources to offer “blended delivery” of adult upgrading (AU) and literacy and basic skills (LBS) programs in an efficient and effective manner.
The goal of the project described in this document was to develop activities that would allow Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) college practitioners to assess learners’ progress in math and in self-management and self-direction (SMSD).
The authors developed the activities based on information collected from surveys. The activities were then field-tested by 11 LBS college practitioners with more than 60 learners.
A College Network Development Project: Final Report
The goal of the project outlined in this document was to improve student and client outcomes in college-based programs sponsored by Employment Ontario (EO) by promoting the collaboration of college frontline staff in Apprenticeship, Job Connect, LBS/Academic Upgrading and Employment Assistance Services.
