From regular education to lifelong learning, from silos to open access: a role for the digital revolution, with more porous borders between teaching, programs and the jobs-training-family-rural life balance

The digital revolution is impacting professional practices in every business segment. Continuing education in Cégep régional de Lanaudière will demonstrate how digital technology can help break down silos and make industrial electronics expertise more accessible – from services to businesses, agriculture and continuing education – to better meet community training needs.

Attendees will leave this session with a better grasp of why and how the use of digital technology represents a real revolution, through which Continuing education at Cégep régional de Lanaudière can make the various areas more accessible and facilitate a seamless transfer of expertise to meet training needs for multi-sector issues such as balancing work with family, studies, technology and isolation. This is a joint presentation by an ICT educational consultant in Continuing education, the coordinator of the Electronics department and an instructor in farm management at Cégep régional de Lanaudière.

Out of Chaos Comes Promise: How CourseFlow can support online learning and teaching

COVID-19 forced high education instructors into an emergency remote teaching few were prepared for. As professionals we turn to the research for solutions, but even they didn’t offer sufficient solutions to match this unprecedented experience. Along with the stress of feeling in “free-fall” came insights and possibilities. In this presentation we will describe one of these solutions, our SALTISE CourseFlow tool. Growing out of a design based research study (DBR), CourseFlow is built as a research-practice partnerships (RPP; Penuel & Coburn, 2013). Like a Rosetta Stone, it allows stakeholders to communicate across boundaries. CourseFlow’s visualization of context and content makes it a tool with potential for communicating the complexity of online instruction to students, as well as keeping track of workflow for faculty. In this presentation we will describe the tool and showcase some of the cases where it has been used to support online teaching.
