The Justice Institute of BC and Vancouver Community College are co-hosting an online showcase for post-secondary institutions in the lower mainland to showcase their “best” online courses.
Where and when: November 30, 2011 | 9:00-3:30 p.m. JIBC Theatre, McBride Avenue, New Westminster, BC.
For this year’s showcase proposals are invited that focus on design decisions that are made because of the particular needs of students in the following categories:
1. Accessibility: Proposals are requested that demonstrate design considerations of students with specific needs in terms of learning, mobility or physical challenges. Proposals that focus on design considerations that take into account student’s technological, geographic or life/work/education constraints are also invited.
2. Mobile learning: Proposals that demonstrate how we are designing in consideration of the growing space that mobile learning occupies in conjunction with or independent of desktop learning.
3. Online courses in post-sec and beyond: Proposals that demonstrate your “best” with a focus on design considerations made because of the particular needs of students.
Note. Proposals are also invited from the private training sector, non-profits, and NGOs to capture a broader range of students.
