2009 update for Durham College

New page

This is not the "official" Durham update--just my take on it...

Durham's Innovation Centre has been a shared service with UOIT, but plans are underway for the "disentanglement" of the shared services here as the college and uni become more independent identities. We are unsure as yet of the impact of these changes, but are doing our best to assess the priority needs of our clients and ensure continuation of support for these.

We continue to have great demand for WebCT support, especially during grade submission times, but increasingly our inquiries are about how to better use the tool to support learning.

Karen Hodgins has retired as our Curriculum Specialist, and has been replaced by a secondee from the Health area, Sandy Odrowski. Our WebCT Support person, June McDonald-Jenkins, has moved on to head up our new Applied Research office, but we have not yet replaced her. Our office now includes Durham's Director of Program Development and Quality Initiatives, Susan Barclay-Pereira, a good fit for our shared work.
