The focus of Red River College Is student success

Student success

Red River College is a learning and a learner-centred college. This

means that the prime focus is on student success. RRC encourages

every learner to achieve his or her optimal intellectual and personal

potential.

The College works to achieve thisin numerous ways, for example,through high quality applied

education, co-operative programs, priorlearning assessment and recognition andstudent support services. Essential ele-ments in an innovative learning environ-ment are caring, professional faculty, arespectful, safe and healthy environmentand strong student services. The Collegeis also committed to implementing evi-dence-based improvements to enhancestudent accomplishment.

Program Informationand Advising CentreDuring 2001/2002, an important newelement in increasing student successwas established in the Program Infor-mation and Academic Advising Centre.Located in an area easily accessible toVisitor Parking and the bus stop, thecentre is the focus for prospective stu-dents to receive information and guid-ance on college programming. Thecentre is staffed with two customer ser-vice representatives, two academic

BEST COPY AVAILABLE

advisors, and a PLAR advisor. The cus-tomer service representatives providebasic program information to the publicover the phone and in person and referindividuals for appointments with advi-sors or career counselors for moredetailed discussion regarding career andprogram planning. All programbrochures and application forms arealso available at the centre.

The introduction of this advising cen-tre is intended to assist prospective stu-dents in making an informed decisionabout program selection and in plan-ning for their studies. In the first eightmonths of the Centre's operation, thetwo academic advisors provided pre-enrolment advising to 1787 individuals.

Advisors also work with current stu-dents who need advice and guidanceon academic policies and other acade-mic issues related to their program ofstudies. The provision of individualadvising services to prospective andcurrent students at critical times in theiracademic career supports student suc-cess.


Assessing and RecognizingPrior LearningPrior Learning Assessment and Recogni-tion (PLAR) is a process of identifying,assessing and recognizing what a personknows and can do in relation to collegeprograms.

For over twenty years, the College hasimplemented PLAR processes for stu-dents in order to grant credit for formaland informal learning gained outside ofthe College. In the past few years, theCollege has awarded 1550 course creditsthrough PLAR.

The College PLAR Strategic Plan (1999-2004) provides the outcomes, actions andstrategies for the integration, implementa-tion and expansion of PLAR at RRC.

In 2001/2002 the College:Implemented an enhanced PLAR

Advising Service for current and potentialRRC students as part of the College's Pro-gram Information and Academic AdvisingCentre.

Facilitated the development of the firstPLAR Practitioner DACUM (Develop aCurriculum) in Canada, with a group of

experienced Manitoba PLAR practition-ers. The DACUM forms the basis for theon-site and on-line curriculum develop-ment for the PLAR Foundation Trainingcourse (basic level) and the PLAR Prac-titioner Training course (advancedlevel).

Provided PLAR Foundation Trainingcourses and a PLAR Foundation Train-ing Summer Institute for post-secondaryfaculty and staff and participants fromApprenticeship, sector councils, licens-ing bodies and other organizations.

Continued the development of newPLAR resources/processes for learnersin College programs (i.e. BusinessAdministration, Para-Educator, VolunteerManagement Certificate, Applied Coun-seling Certificate, Medical TranscriptionCertificate).

Implemented a "Train the Trainer inProfessional Portfolio Development"course for College faculty who guidestudents in the development of profes-sional portfolios prior to graduation.

Key Principles of a Learning College

The College's Strategic Plan identifies the vision, mission, values, goals and objectives. Central is the notion of alearning college. The key principles are:

1 The learning college creates substantive change in individual learners.

2. The learning college engages learners as full partners in the learning process, with learners assuming primaryresponsibility for their own choices.

3 The learning college creates and offers as many options for learning as possible.

4. The learning college assists learners to form and participate in collaborative learning activities.

5. The learning college defines the roles of learning facilitators by the needs of the learners.

6 The learning college and its learning facilitators succeed only when improved and expanded learning can bedocumented for its learners.

New directionsInnovation in Our New AgeKnowledge is a strategic asset. Devel-oping world leading skills and strength-ening our research capacity are thekeys to ensure this knowledge con-tributes to building an innovative econ-omy that will benefit Manitobans.Future success in the global economywill be measured in part by the vigourof our educational system and the cre-ativity of our research capability.

Red River College is a central partnerwith government, business, labour andthe community in ensuring that Manito-ba maintains and improves our highstandards of living and quality of lifewhile competing in the global econo-my.

The College is experiencing itslargest expansion since the Notre DameCampus was constructed nearly fortyyears ago. New programs are intro-duced every year and enrolments areincreasing dramatically. The first phaseof the Princess Street Campus hasopened with the second phase comingin 2003. Stevenson Aviation and Aero-space Training Centre has been inte-grated with the College. RegionalCampuses are growing in response tothe needs of the local communities.There are more international and dis-

16

tance learners. The College has also ini-tiated applied research as a focusedactivity. The future will bring moreinnovative growth in expanded oppor-tunities for applied learning andresearch for Manitobans.

CARSI and Applied ResearchApplied research is a key element inimproving innovation and productivity,which in turn drives economic develop-ment. For many years Red River Col-lege has carried out applied researchprojects for Manitoba businesses as wellas projects arising from internalresearch and development needs. As acritical contributor to economic devel-opment, Red River College is increasingits support to applied research, technol-ogy transfer, prototyping, productdevelopment, testing and commercial-ization.

In January 2002, Red River Collegereceived a $550,788 grant from theCanadian Foundation for Innovation tohelp develop the Centre for AppliedResearch in Sustainable Infrastructure(CARSI). Additional funding is currentlybeing pursued.

The CARSI mission statement is "todevelop advanced sustainable infra-structure technologies and products in

Manitoba through innovation and excel-lence in applied research, which bene-fits the environment, and economy ofCanada."

With guidance provided from theCARSI Advisory Committee, four strate-gic goals and a list of guiding valuesand principles for conducting appliedresearch were developed for the Cen-tre. CARSI goals are: (a) conduct inno-vative and improved applied research;(b) undertake strategic applied researchprojects; (c) develop unique technicalservice capabilities; and (d) developresource and infrastructure capabilities.

The guiding values and principles forCARSI are: show linkages to the eco-nomic development of Manitoba andCanada; be consistent with RRC's strate-gic plan and mandate to conductapplied research "on a cost-recoverybasis"; be industry-driven; provideenrichment to student learners' academ-ic training, applied research techniquesand workforce preparation; provideprofessional development opportunitiesfor faculty; and provide an opportunityto create partnerships and collaborativenetworks among other research institu-tions, industry and the community.

Joint collaborative research partner-ships have been established with exter-

19 BEST COPY AVAILABLE

nal researchers from other post-sec-ondary institutions and research organi-zations such as the University ofManitoba (Civil Engineering, Bio-sys-tems Engineering), ISIS Canada, and theNational Air Barrier Association. Theprimary objective of these partnershipsis to link applied and basic researchexpertise and training activities.

Specific research plans have beendeveloped based on the growing needsof industry and the capability of theresearchers. These include plans forthe following areas of research in Con-struction Materials and Building Sys-tems:

Asphalt Concrete MaterialsAdvanced Composite MaterialsLight-Frame Wood StructuresBuilding Envelope Systems

The project will involve the construc-tion of a new research facility on theNotre Dame Campus to house the newresearch laboratories. A CARSI steeringcommittee is guiding the developmentof the project and the technical siterequirements planning for the researchfacility.

In the future, infrastructure andresources will be established to expandapplied research into EnvironmentalTechnologies and Geomatics Technolo-gies.

Applied Researchand Innovation OfficeRed River College is actively involved insupporting the Canada and the Manito-ba governments' initiatives in knowl-edge-based economic development.The emphasis is on applied research,which is the application of new andexisting knowledge or information topractically resolve problems with afocus on innovation nearer the end ofthe product process development cycle.

Applied research is designed to solvepractical problems of the modernworld, rather than to acquire knowl-edge for knowledge's sake. RRC willincreasingly acknowledge and imple-ment initiatives to augment scholarlyactivity among faculty and increase theopportunities for faculty and students to


participate in and to conduct appliedresearch.

A key activity is the development ofan Applied Research and InnovationOffice (ARIO). The concept is to estab-lish an office to coordinate appliedresearch activities and act as a one-stop-shop/window to the college. Itwill serve as a gateway for externalpartners seeking to work with the col-lege on applied research and to sup-port internal initiative and activities withfaculty, staff and students. Appliedresearch will support learning in theclassroom and contribute to economicdevelopment. The long-term intent is tosupport technology transfer and com-mercialization.

To support innovation, research anddevelopment RRC will:

Develop applied research partner-ships with leading local and interna-tional private sector innovators.

Develop research partnerships withWestern Economic Diversification,Industrial Research Assistance Council,Manitoba Research Innovation andTechnology Division of ITM, and withthe Universities of Manitoba and Win-nipeg.

Integrate applied research projects inspecific college programs so graduatesenter the workforce understanding theimportance of research and develop-ment.

Continuously update the College'sInstitutional Research Plan. Respondingto industry and community demand,RRC will aim its research activities at: 1.Sustainable infrastructure technology; 2.Bio-sciences Laboratory; 3. Manufactur-ing Design Technology; 4. Human careservices; and 5. Education technology.RRC has the necessary expertise inthese areas, RRC faculty and staff ben-efit from the applied research, there arestrong partnerships with external agen-cies and businesses, and the areas ofapplied research can be interrelatedproducing internal linkages.

Achieve institutional eligibility forNational Science and EngineeringResearch Council research grants forfaculty and staff.

20

Consult with the Industrial ResearchAssistance Program on hosting addition-al Industrial Technology Advisors in theCollege, including at the new PrincessStreet Campus.

Implement an Outreach and Recogni-tion Program including identification ofincentives/means to encourage staff par-ticipation in applied research.

Pursue funding for the Bio-sciencesResearch Laboratory.

Advancing the EducationalOpportunities for ManitobansTo succeed in the global, knowledge-based economy Manitoba must prepare,attract and retain a well-educated andhighly-trained population. RRC providesthe training and skills required to createand to maintain a competitive and inno-vative workforce.

The College works with and will con-tinue to support the development of ahighly-qualified and competitive work-force by:

Increasing program capacity throughthe development of new facilities(Stevenson Aviation and Aerospace Cen-tre, Regional Campuses, Princess StreetCampus) and the use of e-Learningtechnologies (RRC Virtual College, Cam-pus Manitoba, Campus Canada);

Increasing program offerings in sup-port of key economic development sec-tors identified in the AcademicProgramming Expansion Strategy as crit-ical for Manitoba, such as, Aviation andAerospace, Advanced Manufacturing,Health Care, Life Sciences, InformationTechnology, New Media, Biotechnology,Apprenticeship, and Aboriginal learners;

Developing innovative learning strate-gies such as Prior Learning Assessmentand Recognition (PLAR), hybrid (face-to-face and web-enabled) learning, dualcredit (school and post-secondary)courses and articulation arrangementswith high schools, other colleges anduniversities;

Developing new applied degree pro-gramming related to identified require-ments in Manitoba. The province needsto expand its enrolments in college-levelapplied education to provide a skilledworkforce for economic development.There are several areas of anticipatedneed in the province, including informa-tion and communication technology,bio-sciences, health, early childhoodeducation, advanced manufacturing andaerospace. Applied degrees reflect theimpact of a changing economy onlabour market requirements for appliedskills and knowledge, and studentdemand for training offering specificemployment-related advanced skills.Businesses are requiring higher levels oflearning in technology, production,logistics and processes, as they becomemore knowledge intensive.

Canada's and Manitoba's economiesare evolving at an extremely rapid pace,fueled by technological advances andinnovation. Employers are seeking grad-uates with advanced and sophisticatedskills; skills often not attainable througha two-year diploma program, or througha university Baccalaureate Degree pro-gram. Employers in a wide range ofindustries are demanding advanced,hands-on training and skills develop-ment most typical of the learning whichtakes place in community colleges. RRCwill explore the development of suchprogramming for the benefit of Manito-bans;

New DowntownPrincess Street CampusThe Province of Manitoba has providedfunding for a new downtown campusfor RRC in the Exchange District area ofWinnipeg. The first phase saw the ren-ovation of a building located at 315William for classes beginning in Sep-tember 2002.

The next phase involves the re-useand restoration of much of the histori-cally significant facades and interior fin-ishes of the Princess block along withthe construction of a new integratedbuilding behind them. This will beavailable for students in September2003, while the third phase will be theconstruction of the Adelaide building.

Overall, the Princess Street Campuswill include about 225,000 sq. ft. thatwill house 2,000 students in informationcommunication, network and computertechnology, creative arts, new mediaand business programs. Red River Col-lege's Notre Dame Campus is currentlyoperating at capacity with nearly 7,000full-time students.

The downtown campus will link theCollege to industry and business andprovide more opportunities for accessto students from across the city. It willalso help to revitalize the city's down-town.

Physical InfrastructureProgram and enrolment expansion willcontinue to require RRC to grow itsfacility and equipment infrastructure.Princess Street is only one element ofthat growth as RRC transforms into asingle college with multiple campuses.

Plans will be developed for theNotre Dame Campus, including:

A short-term plan to guide the back-fill renovations as some programs aretransferred to Princess Street, openingspace at Notre Dame for expanded andnew programming.

A long-term campus plan at NotreDame to provide a vision for futuredevelopments.

Regional Campuses will enhance theirphysical capacity as local requirementsgrow.

The Millennium Park will arise aroundthe main campus providing a vibrant andinviting environmental space for students,staff and the surrounding community.

Technological InfrastructureThe world is experiencing an informationand knowledge revolution that is affect-ing society as profoundly as the industrialrevolution. To be at the forefront of thistransformation, the College must integratetechnology into every facet of operations.This includes the development of instruc-tional technology programs, smart class-rooms, and distributed learning. Learnersneed the technological resources andskills to become well educated and pro-ductive. An Educational Technology Planwill guide the development and improve-ment of Educational Technology, StudentServices and Management Systems, Dis-tributed Delivery, Infrastructure, Techni-cal Support, and Curriculum and FacultySupport.

A Healthy and SafeWork environmentRRC will build on its commitment toensure a safe and healthy environmentfor all members of the College communi-ty. This will include accommodation forthe recent legislative changes in theprovince.

All of the facilities of the College willbe managed in accordance with the newrequirements. In addition, the Collegewill implement improvements based onthe findings of the Well-being in theWorkplace Through Healthy Organiza-tions project. The primary goal of thisproject is to improve organizationalhealth and effectiveness. Some of the ini-tiatives include: a management trainingprogram, a faculty and staff recognitionprogram, programs to increase the diver-sity of the College, succession planning,and preparing and modeling a Collegestatement of values.

Contract Training - Sales &Contract Training is part of the core business at RedRiver College. Training and/or retraining the existingworkforce is an essential component of meeting the

education and training needs of the community and is partof the mission of the College.

A new model for contract training at RRC was implement-ed in 2001/2002. The integrated, collaborative model helpsindustry and business to directly access expertise in areas ofinterest within a College-wide framework. As well, itencourages individual departments to promote their educa-tional products directly to employers, community groupsand employer organizations.

The central unit, Contract Training--Sales & Services(CTS&S), provides a centralized sales, service, and adminis-trative office supporting the contract training initiatives of alldepartments and divisions within the College.

It seeks to achieve RRC's contract train-ing objectives by proactively encouraging, supporting andcoordinating the initiatives, expertise, and enthusiasm of allCollege staff.

All College departments are sources of potential contracttraining. Contract training opportunities may be initiatedand executed by any department or division of the College.Chairs/Managers working with Deans/Directors are respon-sible for the sale and delivery of training in their respectiveareas of responsibility.

A key element of an effective integrated contract trainingstrategy is a balanced and always improving set of best


Servicespractices. These have been developed and encompass defin-itions, roles, profit sharing, business processes and proce-dures, and template forms.

During 2001/2002, contract training was delivered toapproximately 900 employees, including:

Electrical Bond and Ground training delivered to 105Bristol employees.Sealant training delivered to 32 Bristol employees.Metallurgical Processes modules delivered to 58 ManitobaAerospace Human Resources Coordinating Committee(MAHRCC) members.Human Factors training delivered to 120 MAHRCCmembers.Managing and Supervising Young Workers workshopsattended by 196 participants.Lean Thinking and Value Stream Mapping workshopsattended by 110 participants.
