Part A: Presentation of ACE Resources (75 min)    1:10 to 2:30

Report on AlphaPlus Resources (20 min.)

The CSC asked teams of faculty to research college appropriate materials for AlphaRoute, Demonstrations Ontario, and AlphaPlus Library Services in each subject area. Ask members of the research team to make a brief report on their findings to date. You will find a list of the research team members in your package. Please note that the team members were exempted from contributing submissions so their report is considered part of the presentation.

Presenting the Resources (50 min.)    1:30 – 2:20 p.m.

Notes to Facilitator: Use participant list (in alphabetical order) to schedule the presentations. Appoint a volunteer as time keeper and two volunteers to help distribute resources. Ask participants to introduce themselves and advise them on how much time they have to present. The amount of time will be determined by how many presenters there are. The presentation can follow the format in the Resource Submission Form, i.e., what kind of resource, what level, what subject area, and what challenges were involved in developing the resource or initiative, how the resource was used with students, how many students were involved, what were the results or conclusions? Allow for one or two brief questions for each presentation.

Collect a sample of each resource.

Wrap-Up (5 min.)    2:20 – 2:25 p.m.

Try to wrap up Part A before break with a brief (large group) discussion. You can open the discussion up to more questions about the resources, but try to steer the discussion towards the value of sharing resources. If you can’t get to this, carry it over after break, and compress Part B.

Resource sharing is what participants are really interested in.

Remind participants that the session will resume at 2:45 promptly.

=======================    Break (20 min)   =======================

Part B: Continued Sharing (65 min)    2:45 to 3:50

Small Group Discussion (35 min)    2:45 – 3:20 p.m.

Notes to Facilitator: Ask the group to break into small groups of 5 to 6 persons from different colleges. Distribute ACE Delivery Grids and ask everybody to update them. This should only take a few minutes.
