Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools
(Dundurn Press, 1999) Thomson, Ashley; Lafortune, Sylvie
Private schools have frequently provided innovative, experimental, and creative program unavailable to students in the public system. The most successful have survived and expanded by offering an educational experience widely perceived to be not just as good as that available in the public system, but better. In Canada, private schools are enjoying an unprecedented popularity and while most are day-only, over sixty sustain boarding programs, as do two off-shore Canadian schools. The Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools presents information on the educational environment of each province,then offers comparative information on each boarding school. The information on each school includes: basic data, location, history, philosophy, the campus, boarding facilities, health and safety, administration and faculty, student body and student conduct, academic calendar and program, information technology, student activities and student conduct, admission and costs. The Handbook also supplies several appendices outlining important programs often available through boarding schools, such as Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate. For parents in Canada and abroad about to commit substantial sums to their children''s education, the Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools is an essential tool to help them make the right decision. It is also an indispensable resource for supporters of the public system looking for ideas that have worked elsewhere.
La formation à l’usage de l’information sur The Learning Manager (TLM)‏ : Un didacticiel accessible à tous!
(2001-05-17) Lafortune, Sylvie; Létourneau, Alain
Afin d'assurer le succès de leurs programmes de formation documentaire, les bibliothèques doivent maintenant s'adapter à une clientèle universitaire hétérogène, limitée dans ses déplacements par l'emploi du temps ou autres raisons et qui requière des moyens d'apprentissages flexibles, accessibles de n'importe où et à toute heure. Afin de répondre à ces nouveaux défis, la Bibliothèque J.N Desmarais de l'Université Laurentienne a développé un programme de formation documentaire totalement informatisé et supporté par le logiciel didactique TLM (The Learning Manager). Comme d'autres didactitiels, ce programme permet d'acquérir les rudiments indispensables à la recherche documentaire dans un environnement hautement interactif de mises en situation, d'exercices et même d'examens de passage. Cependant, TLM a été retenu surtout en raison de quatre de ses fonctions uniques : 1) sa structure modulaire qui guide l'usager à travers les activités d'apprentissage et les tests d'un cours, 2) ses outils de gestion des dossiers étudiants, 3) ses capacités particulièrement sophistiquées de créer des tests, 4) sa fonction permettant l'intégration de programmes.
