Building Workplace Essential Skills Online - Update
(March 17, 2005) - Bow Valley College has adapted their existing Building
Workplace Essential Skills classroom course for online delivery. The curriculum
covers Reading Text, Document Use and Numeracy and is a highly interactive
online tool that is fully articulated with TOWES. The BWESO pilot has launched!
After a great Instructor Orientation Session with our 8 pilot partners
at the end of January, the sites have started to facilitate the online
course with their learners. We are pleased to have the following partners
onboard for the pilot:
- NAIT
- Keyano College
- Fanshawe College
- Douglas College
- Northen Lights College
- Manitoba Literacy Partners
- Manitoba Lotteries
- Bow Valley College
This is a wonderful mix of partners who have provided an enthusiastic
group of instructors to assist in our research which hopes to illustrate
whether the online platform is effective in teaching essential skills with
these groups of learners. The pilot will come to a close at the end of
April. An external evaluator will then develop a full evaluation of the
project. We will be posting the results of the pilot in May. Stay tuned.
