Goal: Support students’ decisions when coming to Red River College by presenting pertinent information and leading them through a process of LIFE (Living, I [as in me], Finances, and Employment) self-assessment so they can consider how ready they are for college life.

Deliverables: Convert information that has been compiled by Red River College’s Academic Success Centre (ASC) into a form that is housed within a Bit Space Development (BSD) Content Management System (CMS) and readily accessible online such that

  • ASC staff can enter, maintain, and present student-support information (both simple text and multimedia); deliver self-administered LIFE App quizzes to, and collect feedback from, users; retain intellectual property over all LIFE App content
  • Registered and non-registered visitors can view generic LIFE App content; respond anonymously to LIFE App quizzes and assessments.
  • Registered users can anonymously record their own LIFE App preferences; anonymously record their own quiz and survey responses; view content tailored to their preferences and captured data.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
