Reaching Out With CPS-ECP Courses
Sociologists are telling us that we are living in the period of
the Second Renaissance. New initiatives and devices are being introduced daily around the world. Peoples' daily schedules have become different from what they were in the past.
Schedules must become versatile to meet the needs of their
work, both in the places where they work and the hours they
must make themselves available to carry out their communications and transactions.
As a result of this CPS-ECP has been attempting to make
our courses more accessible for these busy people, our potential customers. We are studying how we can enlarge our
catchment area of today's boaters. We have been piloting different methods of delivering our many courses and evaluating
what we think would be the best learning environments to accomplish our mission of increasing the number of safe boaters
on the water. We are strong teachers in the classroom and will
always offer our courses this way. However we now feel that
we must enlarge those walls of the classroom by offering our
courses with different approaches as well.
Some of our instructors have incorporated the available
tools of Skype, GoToMeeting and GoToTraining to offer
their courses to those students who cannot commit to the
weekly classroom approach. These types of lessons are being
used by students no matter where their location is and at his
or her available time. They are using a variety of electronic
devices like a laptop, iPad, Smartphone, etc. to do this.
After three years of studying and experimenting with different programs the Outreach Education Team has arrived with
five various approaches that we find successful to present our
courses. There is much academic terminology being used by
various institutions. The chart below describes the names and
the descriptions of the methodologies we are endeavouring
to offer.
All of the above instruction methods use what is called a
"blended learning approach". A variety of resources such as
text, video clips, online discussions, web links and PowerPoints are integrated within our courses.
Instructors who have developed these approaches to offering courses for their students are willing to host their course
to cover a larger geographic region than their own. Other
Squadrons wishing to participate in the course are required to
provide an instructor tutor to work with the student in their
area. Lessons will be taught by the host squadron using various devices. The local tutors work with their student teaching
hands-on topics like chart work, knots and using the sextant*.
We feel these topics require hands-on reinforcement.
*Tutors may contact their students personally, by phone or
computer as the situation allows. Past experience suggests this
usually means from three to five sessions.
If a Squadron would like to create and offer a course using one of the approaches listed above, the Outreach Team is
willing to work with your instructors to train them how to set
it up. The Team will also assist the instructors with delivery
and launch of their course until instructors feel confident in
their delivery.
