OFF-CAMPUS AND DISTANCE EDUCATION SERVICES

OISE/UT Trent Valley Centre offers off-campus courses and supervises dissertations in the Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning. For a list of courses to be offered in 2000-2001, see the schedule. This schedule is updated regularly.

Although each Master's of Education course offered out of the Trent Valley Centre stands alone, the courses share program principles. Each course focuses on practical problems, has an in-school application component, combines theory and research with practice, and enables candidates to pursue personal learning goals. The course assignments are designed so that students develop items for their professional portfolios. These portfolios can be used to reflect on one's growth as a professional teacher and for the assembly of evidence to support application for positions of added responsibility.

The list of courses offered out of the Trent Valley Centre that subscribe to these principles is continually growing. For a list taught by Centre faculty (John Ross, often in conjunction with other faculty) see Off-Campus Courses . For each course there is a brief overview of the course, a list of goals, and an outline of the topics addressed.

A regional committee of distinguished alumni is providing input to the Trent Valley Centre on the types of courses that should be offered to meet the teachers' needs. This committee is also helping us explore new ways of delivering programs.

The Centre also supports field-based CMC Distance Education offered by OISE/UT faculty in other centres. We encourage candidates in the region to use their computers to access courses that are not offered locally.

For research on distance education conducted at the Centre, see Distance Education.
