Red River College, in collaboration with Healthy Child Manitoba and Manidoo Gi Miini Gonaan, has developed an online multimedia resource that describes the Abecedarian Approach to Early Childhood Education. The Abecedarian Approach has been used internationally as an intervention for vulnerable children living in multi-risk communities. This resource provides practical training in an accessible, engaging online format rich with videos, examples, games and interactive activities, with the goal of improving outcomes for vulnerable children in Manitoba Early Childhood Education programs. eTV is proud to have contributed to this project with several supporting videos. Please click below for an example. For more information about this resource, contact: Melanie D Souza

An integral component of eTV’s classroom live streaming is the chat feature. After extensive research, eTV customized a new chat system with updated features and a contemporary interface. This system is designed to increase participation and improve communication between students, on-site instructors, rural facilitators, and eTV staff. The new eTV Chat was launched at the start of the fall term for Nursing and Paramedicine students.

eTV has continued our support of the Animal Health Technology Curriculum Re-Development PIF project. Over the last few months, our crew visited Elders Equine Veterinary Service to capture footage of Dr. Chris Bell and his team working with the horses in their care. We would like to thank Dr. Bell for inviting us back on different occasions, giving us an opportunity to see a variety of veterinary services from a routine dental exam to eye surgery.

With another successful trip abroad, eTV continues with contributions that help define RRC as a leader in post-secondary education. Working with the School of Health Sciences and Community Services Research Department, eTV travelled to Bangladesh to help create media materials for a preprimary teacher intervention project. The project, which includes a partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation in Bangladesh, involves developing training modules for low literacy teachers and conducting research regarding the effectiveness of the training.

In an upcoming blog post, eTV will feature some sample footage from Bangladesh. In the meantime, please check out our SECD page to see samples of our work at home and around the world.
