T-01: Interdisciplinary Teaching

This presentation will share the results of a study evaluating the integration of transversal competencies, such as collaboration, time management, and networking, within the multimedia technical program at Vanier College. We will present student feedback on competency grids and the mentorship program, highlighting successes and challenges. Students appreciated the clarity of expectations and the ability to track their progress. However, balancing competency development with academic workloads remained a significant challenge. Practical solutions and tools developed from this project will be shared to help participants adapt these practices to their own institutions.

We are launching a website that is to be used as a tool for teachers and administrators for communication and shared understanding when designing or updating interdisciplinary courses – in particular for the ONTC competency in the new Quebec Science Program. The website will be published this year by the CCDMD. Alain Toutloff was a member of the Comité de rédaction de la nouvelle version du programme Sciences de la nature and recently published a PAREA report on interdisciplinarity. Justine Bell was a member of the review committee for the development of the new Science Program.

Dans un contexte d’évolution rapide de l’éducation en sciences infirmières, notre école a lancé le premier programme de baccalauréat en sciences infirmières en ligne du Québec. Ce programme, mis en place en 2021, offre le même contenu, les mêmes objectifs et résultats d’apprentissage que le programme en présentiel, tout en respectant les normes de l’Association canadienne des écoles de sciences infirmières (ACESI). Nous partageons notre expérience d’adaptation du cours d’examen clinique du présentiel au format en ligne, initialement évalué par des ECOS (examens cliniques objectifs standardisés), transformés en simulations formatives pour améliorer l’apprentissage et optimiser l’utilisation des ressources humaines.
