MAD HATTER 18

 

More than one description of a partnership or innovative joint venture can be detailed
with each submission. In fact institutions are encouraged to submit multiple
examples.- The purpose of a good case study is to produce a learning example or
examples and therefore, it should indicate the problem or needs that gave cause to
create the partnership. It should indicate how the partnership was structured; how
the curriculum was developed and implemented as well as what has been achieved as
a consequence of the curriculum.

The book, Selected Case Studies, using cases submitted for Spotlight Award
consideration at Conference '86, provides examples of format. This year, however,
case studies should place a greater emphasis on user-driven curriculum and delivery
systems. Please show how this curriculum, and any complementary delivery systems,
meets the needs of employers in partnerships. Explain how institutional program
inventories have been expanded with these industry-current learning modules and
innovative teaching methods. Cases presented should be written to reflect this new
emphasis as this detail will be a major consideration in selecting cases for "Spotlight
Awards" at Conference '87. .

 

Tentatively, this year three cases for "Spotlight Awards" and seven for Honourable
Mention will be selected. However, the Task Force selectors reserve the right to
expand or contract those numbers depending on the quantity and quality of
submissions and other considerations. Spotlight Award partnerships and Honourable
Mentions selected at Conference '86 will not be considered again or 1987 awards.
However, Honourable Mentions selected in 1986 may be considered for Spotlight
Awards for Conference '87 if currently active, updated, expanded to meet the new
guidelines, and resubmitted. Different cases submitted by a Spotlight Award winner
or Honourable Mention recipient in 1986 are welcomed.

A panel of three selectors will be appointed by the MAKING CANADA PRODUCTIVE
Task Force to review all submissions.

Case Studies should be submitted by February 16, 1987 to guarantee consideration.
Submissions are encouraged in both French and English for possible later publication
but submissions in either language will be accepted for consideration. Please send
submissions to: ,
