Course offerings such as Part-time progression toward the credential to allow for students who have work/family commitments.

Flexible course options such as the 7 week intensive or the 14 week steady as you go option.

Flexible course credits - who says everything needs to be 3 credits.  How about a 2 credit course or a 1 credit short course.  Or (blow your mind!) a 0.5 credit course in a short time frame. So long as it all adds up in the end.

Co-teaching options that enhance the student experience with a variety of expertise.

Alternate deliver methods such as compressed didactic followed by 'boot camp' practical.

WIL that is actually integrated with the learning similar to a co-op where in person alternates with work placements

Conditional Early Acceptance to a Program

Conditional Early Acceptance to a Program

# data[].attributes.body
Students who have exceptional grades in Grade 11 in the math/english/bio/chem (say averages over 90%) are granted advanced acceptance to the program provided they complete with maintained grades. Limited number of spaces permitted in each cohort. Similar criteria for international/indigenous/graduates from other programs. We want the best of the best in our programs!! So we have to catch them early

I had a dream that the cinder block walls in H304 were magically transformed into white boards.  The room was nicely decorated with living plants since there’s no view to any outside natural environment.  That there were sufficient electrical outlets for students to plug into so they didn’t all have to trip over each other to sit next to the wall.  And the tables/chairs were movable for effective group work.  And then I woke up…

Much more digital without losing the human.

When I wake up and after breakfast, I move to my home office. Here I put on my Virtual Reality Suit and Headset. I suddenly transformed faster than the FinchTTC to the North Campus. As I walk around virtually (I'm really on a treadmill at home), I notice smiling faces and a welcoming modern digital campus. I check in with my Holographic AI Assistant (yes, we have assistants)- they're just back after a holographic holiday on Mars. My colleagues are content and happy, the learners are curious. Grades were outlawed thirty years ago and now learners want to engage in meaningful learning. Anything we need, the replicator can produce.

Similar to flexibility- not making all or nothing if student can only attend lecture in person
Flexible due dates
Accomodating different evaluation and learning methods for different lifestyles
Bringing the human element into our teaching space and not just treating students as a product of the work they submit

# data[].attributes.body
Offering classes in smaller module bits that students can work through at their own pace, have to complete a number of assessments in order to unlock the next module, have the professor be more of a learning coach vs an instructor
As the instructors are spending less time teaching the content, they can spend more time on online and virtual support, individual and group coaching, and offering more options of open lab times to include the different practical Mastery components that individual students may be up to.
This would need an entirely new system to to create these modules and have students work through them similar to an asynchronous online course they might take. However, we want to make sure that even though the students might be taking the content asychnrously, the instructor is there and available to them as their own private tutor

Better hyflex classrooms to really support the vritual leanring space
More consitent training of faculty in how to navigate teaching in todays world and allocating the time for us to gain these comptencies and not just expect us to fit it in over our already packed schedule, especially for contract faculty- our hours are already being used for prep, teaching, student support, and grading. If you want them to participate in ways to create a stronger more unified system as a faculty who is keeping on top of advancing their competencies, it needs to be built into the contract, otherwise you are already over working and underpaying them

# data[].attributes.body
More direction and standardization on how to build a cohesive team of faculty

# data[].attributes.body
1. we magically had a learning space dedicated for LABs and another dedicated for Clinics
2. we had a sophisticated, yet user-friendly online management system for clinic
3.  a new role was added to relieve PCs from day-to-day (time-consuming) tasks
4. that all FHSW offices were in the same area to facilitate communication and collaboration

There's a brand new, high tech building called "Centre for Interprofessional Clinical Learning and Simulation" And it's built with labs and simulation suites/ tech that mimic the clinical world across many settings (hospital, home, community care, clinics, etc). There's built-in capacity to various levels of sim and has a simulated participant (standardized patient) training program so that we can have clinical actors join in labs/ simulations to build the interpersonal and clinical skills of students outside of the student/ teacher relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
- More integrated courses/ classes across programs to build IPE
- Improved relationships with clinical settings -?opportunities to hold labs in established clinical institutions to better integrate clinical learning that's outside of placement time)
