Nunavut Arctic College

Program planning for next year is continuing unabated in Education Programs at Nunavut Arctic College.

In this current year, we made efforts to include new initiatives as it pertained to course delivery. It is important that we continually seek ways and means to address the realities of geography and the cultural dynamic that is reflective of this large land.

Early Childhood Education students in Igloolik created web-based children’s stories as part of a literacy initiative in the North Baffin called The Muskox Project.

With reference to “Education Week” I am late this year in submitting my proposal that the name be changed to “Survival Skills Week”. Perhaps it may be applied next year. My reason is quite simple and straightforward.

(Iqaluit, Nunavut) Training in Nunavut takes a giant leap forward this month as Nunavut Arctic College launches the first of five online courses in the Municipal Training Organization’s (MTO) popular Municipal Government Program (MGP). Building on the successful pilot computer training last winter, the “Introduction to Northern Government” will be delivered online to participants across Nunavut starting November 28th. The course covers the structure, history and operations of territorial and municipal governments in Nunavut.

This course will introduce participants to the major contributions being made to the field of instructional technology by researchers today. Each week, a new professor or researcher will introduce his or her central contribution to the field.

A group of six students in Cambridge Bay are happy they chose to take the on-line Introduction to Circumpolar Studies, the first course offering in Nunavut Arctic College’s new University Studies Diploma available through the University of the Arctic. Students were introduced to the notion of “nordicity” and what it means to be part of the Northern World.

It’s celebration time for Nunavut Arctic College Environmental Technology Program graduate Leanna Ellsworth. Ellsworth, who works for the Inuit Circumpolar Council in Ottawa, recently completed all seven modules of the University of the Arctic’s on-line Bachelor of Circumpolar Studies (BCS) program. She’s the first Inuk from Nunavut to complete the program.
