An important part of the Canadian Culture and Communication for Nurses program, is the Institutional CELBAN (Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses).  Also referred to as the "I-CELBAN". The Institutional CELBAN is a practice test offered to all current students who have completed 75% of the assessment tasks at the end of the session. 

Note: Institutional CELBAN scores can not be used in the NNAS application.  To receive official CELBAN scores, you must register for an official CELBAN test.

This course is required for you to complete before entering a new session/course.  (Note students will not have access to their course content until the prerequisite is completed.)

The purpose for this is to ensure students can participate and fully interact with course material.  This includes typing and being able to record audio in the CCCN platform.

We look forward to having you in our program!

Abstract:

Thriving programs stay relevant to the needs of students. This presentation will focus on how programming models can utilize technology/eLearning options purposefully to better engage learners. A “Responsive program design” is less about buildings and more about eLearning options!  The reality is that for many EAL learners, attending a full time face to face program is not possible. (And sometimes not what is needed or best!)  In 2015, The Canadian Culture and Communication for Nurses program had learners participating from 17 different communities in Manitoba!  When making program decisions, we ask ourselves, “How can we offer the same quality programming to those in Thompson as those in Winnipeg?” How can we design an eLearning program that is interactive that utilizes all language skills?”  In our presentation we will talk about the need to be a responsive program and present strategies/decision making processes for integrating technology and eLearning options.
