La Cite collegiale is a college of applied Arts and
Technnology, a post- secondary institution located
in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The Technology Sector
of the College offers 2 and 3 year programs at the
Engineering Technician and Engineering Technology
levels in the following areas: Computing Science,
Architecture, Interior Design, Electronics, Mechanical,
Civil and Industrial Design. The Sector also offers
programs in Horticulture,Project Management,
Machine Shop, Computer Programming, etc. The
Technology Sector has an enrollment of approximately
600 students.

All programs at the College are given in French. In some
of the courses, even though the teaching is done in the
French language, the text books, software and other
materials used by the students are in English.

For the most part we have been delivering our courses
in the traditional way. We are now looking at alternate
ways to deliver our courses, either to replace or
complement the traditional approach. Consequently,
we are re-evaluating all forms of training methods
and materials.

If you have training materials or are aware of training
material in the above disciplines which you think would
enhance the delivery of our programs, we would like to
hear from you. We are open to all types of training material
be they paper based, computer based, video based,
multimedia, etc. We presently run a mix of Pentium,
486, 386 and Macintosh computers on Novel Netware 4.1.

We would prefer material in the French language but will
seriously consider the material in the English language.
For some of the material, perhaos an agreement could be
reached whereby we would translate the material.

We are also looking for training material in mathematics
(remedial up to and including college level algebra,
trigonometry, statistics, calculus, linear algebra, etc.),
science (remedial up to and including college level
physics, biology, chemistry, etc.), French and English.

We would also like to hear of your failures /successes in the
delivery of courses in ways other than the traditionl method.
Thank you,
