Learning English Through Nursing Care Simulation in Quebec City

Project Length: 2014-2018

The DEC听Nursing program offered by the C茅gep Limoilou Business Services and Continuing Education department is designed for mature students. English courses are available as part of this program but unfortunately are rarely chosen by this clientele. In fact, as it is not a course that is included in the technical training, we have noted a lack of interest on the part of students. The learning by simulation project in English aims not only to better motivate students, but also to actively听promote their integration into English-speaking health environments. The learning formula involves developing English courses tailored to the reality of nursing, which includes a theoretical component and a practical component in class as well as online. It means adapting the terminology used in the work environment in English. In addition, during training, students will have the chance to participate in simulation activities in English. These involve creating professional situations听that connect听with the reality of clinical environments, thereby ensuring appropriate language skills听can be听acquired. Lastly, the simulations will allow professional vocabulary to be acquired, and clinical administrative tools employed in an English-speaking nursing environment to be used. Finally, the student will have the chance to develop their direct communication skills with the client and various stakeholders working in the health sector.听听听听听听

Increasing Disoverability of Training Videos Through Cataloguing and Classification With Metadata

Project Length: 2015-2017

In order for the videos or learning objects created by the McGill Health Care Professionals Retention Project to be found on the Internet, they must not only be hosted on a server, they must also be catalogued with relevant information about their content. This allows search engines to find the content among the multitude of other information available to users. The adequate cataloguing of material combined with a propagation framework for the metadata also allows more specialized systems to find this material.

The C茅gep 脿 Distance team has developed an expertise in the cataloguing of learning objects using metatagging. By adding meaningful keywords, descriptions and other information on the learning objects within the CERES learning object aggregation database (developed by La Vitrine Technologie-脡ducation and the LICEF), these resources become more 鈥渄iscoverable鈥� to search engines and the educational community. This in turn, increases the chances that videos will be referenced and used by educational institutions. The offers advanced search capabilities and syndication, which will allow users more flexible options to find and use the learning modules. As part of this project C茅gep 脿 distance will catalogue the English videos that were created by the McGill Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project.

In a parallel project, C茅gep 脿 distance has proposed the hosting of learning objects on the ENDREA repository. ENDREA is a French acronoym that stands for L'entrep么t num茅rique 脿 distance de ressources d'enseignement et d'apprentissage (digital warehouse for teaching and learning resources). The ENDREA platform will allow C茅gep 脿 distance to integrate the following essential metadata from this cataloguing project*:

Hosting of Video Learning Objects on C茅gep 脿 Distance鈥檚 ENDREA Repository and a Streaming Media Server

Project Length: 2015-2017

In this project, C茅gep 脿 distance will make the English videos created by the Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project for the Self-Study Workbooks for Health and Social Service Professionals available to a wider potential audience by hosting the videos on its ENDREA Learning Object Repository and a third-party streaming server. The videos will thus be available to interested parties with a multitude of potential computing devices (desktop, laptop computer, tablets, smart phones and even certain televisions).

C茅gep 脿 distance will convert the videos, which were created as companion DVDs to the workbooks, to a format appropriate for streaming on the Internet. An appropriate title and credit screen will be added to the videos to identify McGill as the creator of the content.

The modular nature of these videos will lend them well to micro-learning applications where the end-user can review the appropriate videos just-in-time, at the moment of their choosing. If so inclined, educators from a variety of contexts will be able to reuse these learning objects in the creation of a lesson or program. The use of a streaming server will allow for even greater reuse and sharing of the videos, which can easily be embedded in web pages, or in learning management systems like Moodle.

As part of this project, once the videos are converted and ready, C茅gep 脿 Distance will promote the availability of their videos through its website and during other relevant college network events.

Nursing Students Peer Mentorship Program (NSPMP)

Project Length: 2014-2018

Studying Nursing at 香蕉视频 can be challenging for many of our students. This project targets three groups identified as having a higher risk for experiencing stress and anxiety: young out-of-province students admitted to the Undergraduate Program; out-of-province students admitted in to the Direct Entry Master Program; and students who have completed their studies in French-speaking educational institutions, but chose to come to McGill to increase their English proficiency.

The Nursing Students Peer Mentorship Program has the goal of: maintaining and /or improving the mental health of nursing students at the Ingram School of Nursing (ISON) during their years of study by engaging them in a nursing peer mentorship program; decreasing students鈥� perceived level of stress and anxiety; developing and implementing strategies to support students with low French proficiency skills; increasing the nursing student鈥檚 sense of belonging and sense of support, which ultimately will have an impact on their self-confidence, learning and academic success; and increasing the retention of out-of-province students in the province of Qu茅bec upon graduation.

The West Quebec Health and Social Services Professionals Retention Program

Project Length: 2014-2018

This project entails the enrichment of French language training for ECCE (Early Childhood Care Education) and Nursing students, to encourage their retention after graduation within the francophone institutions of the Outaouais region. Eligible students in the ECCE and Nursing programs will have their general French instruction replaced by an enriched course that is designed to address the needs of their respective professions and the specific locations of their clinical placements.听 Learning activities will happen in three places: within the classes taken as part of the curriculum; through conversational groups that use situational and simulated scenarios; and in the clinical setting, where students will be observed in action.

The college also plans to develop and share its tools with other ECCE and Nursing students from Anglophone colleges through asynchronous and synchronous online learning, using an easily accessible web-based exchange platform, like OMNIVOX community, Moodle or another.

Professional Second Language Training for Students in the Health and Social Services Sectors

Project Length: 2014-2018

Champlain College Saint-Lambert currently runs two C茅gep-level programs in the health and social services sector: a DEC in Nursing as well as an AEC in Special Care Counselling. Both programs require students to complete internships in healthcare and/or social services settings, therefore it is imperative that students be able to work in French-language environments and understand the vocabulary of the health system in both official languages. This project will ensure that the terminology used in the field will be provided to students through the development of an online bilingual reference library.

In order to increase the recruitment, retention and success of students in these high-demand fields, the College will also adapt and build on its English language training program for health professionals. The goal is to continue to offer the professional language training to students in the healthcare and social services fields even after the project is completed.

Building success for new internship supervisors in French hospitals

[Special Project]

Project Length: 2014-2016

Champlain Saint-Lambert, unlike most of the English鈥搒peaking colleges, faces the challenge of having the vast majority of its internship placements in French-speaking hospitals and institutions. This has created some difficulties for attracting and retaining qualified nursing personnel to fill internship supervision positions, thus putting additional pressure on the existing instructors. The purpose of this project is to develop tools which will assist internship supervisors in their integration into a French milieu, and to support their ongoing development as clinical instructors.听 Support will be provided both through an online platform that will provide tools, tips and information that can be referred to any time, and through coaching that will be provided by more senior instructors. In the second and third years of the project, it will be extended to Champlain College鈥檚 Lennoxville campus.
