Multimodal Delivery Pilot
For Fall, 2022, several programs piloted multimodal delivery. They included:
- Event Management (Ottawa)
- Therapeutic Recreation (Ottawa)
- Business – College Diploma Program – Co-op and Non-Co-op (Pembroke)
- Pre-Health (Pembroke)
- Police Foundations (Pembroke)

In addition, courses in several programs have temporarily adopted multimodal delivery to accommodate needs of international students.
During Spring 2022, a few programs piloted multimodal delivery within 5 new enhanced classrooms at the Perth (1), Pembroke (1), and Ottawa (3) campuses.
Pilot participants include:
- Office Administration – Executive (Pembroke)

- Interactive Media Design (Ottawa)
- Event Management (Ottawa)
The following programs offered specific courses via multi-modal delivery in Winter 2022:
- Business Agriculture (Perth)
- Office Administration – Executive (Pembroke)
These programs were early multimodal pilot participants who began in Fall 2021:
- Business Agriculture (Perth)

- Business – College Diploma Program – Co-op and Non-Co-op (Pembroke)
The Language Institute also delivered some courses via multimodal delivery in Fall 2021, Winter 2022, and will offer some select courses in Spring, 2022.
Expectations for participating in the pilot include:
- Faculty participate in data collection (e.g. faculty and student surveys, tracking how students choose to attend class week to week)
- Faculty participate in multi-modal delivery training sessions
Each enhanced classroom will be outfitted with the following equipment:
- video camera(s)
- document camera
- array microphone
- additional monitors to display remote students
Additional classrooms will be equipped with a camera and microphone. In addition, mobile kits will be available. These options will support the evaluation of scalable technical options for multimodal delivery.
