Merci d’avoir assisté à la 5e Journée ONTransfer.ca!
25 février 2019 | Hôtel DoubleTree by Hilton, centre-ville de Toronto
En février 2019, le CATON a tenu sa 5e Journée ONTransfer.ca, au cours de laquelle les administrateurs des 45 collèges et universités de la province se sont réunis à Toronto pour discuter des aspects techniques de la reconnaissance de crédits et partager outils et ressources. Cette année, le thème de la journée « L’art et la science du transfert de crédits » nous a permis d’examiner les pratiques prometteuses, les réussites opérationnelles et l’art de conseiller les élèves en matière de transfert. Les lauréats de nos premiers Prix d'excellence en matière de transfert ont également été annoncés à cette occasion.
L’un des thèmes récurrents de la journée a été la transition vers l’évaluation électronique automatisée, comme l’a abordé en séance plénière Elizabeth Kelly, coordonnatrice des transferts de crédits au Collège George Brown. L’expérience de George Brown a été examinée en profondeur lors de la séance de discussion A3 : « Mettre en oeuvre le transfert au moyen de la conception de systèmes », dirigée par Sara et Lidia. De plus, la séance de discussion B1 : « Groupe d’experts des politiques de transfert des universités » a mis en lumière la façon de s’y retrouver dans les processus administratifs et de gouvernance de l’Université en vue de la création de parcours de transfert.
En ce qui a trait à l’expérience des étudiants, l’inclusion de crédits reconnus (évalués ou admissibles) dans les lettres d’offre initiale a été soulignée par certains établissements comme étant une pratique exemplaire. De même, la séance de discussion A1 : « Comité consultatif sur le transfert » a permis à plusieurs établissements d’enseignement d’échanger sur le renforcement des relations pour mieux appuyer les élèves qui souhaitent se réorienter, qu’il s’agisse de leur admission ou de leur départ.
