On Oct. 12, students from Garden City Collegiate visited eTV for some hands on experience with Oculus Rift and VR technologies. There was a lot of buzz and excitement in the room about these new technologies that offer highly immersive learning experiences for students. Paul Vogt, RRC President and CEO, was on hand to welcome the students to RRC and to witness their enthusiasm for these innovations that will soon become standard practice in many classrooms. The event hosted by Teacher Education was also an opportunity for pre-service teachers at the college to experience authentic, inquiry based teaching.

Apart from being safe and comfortable, the closeness of a wrapped baby to its mother supports attachment and stimulates learning. Below is a clip of how babies are wrapped in Mozambique, the piece was shot and edited by eTV/Learning Technologies on a recent trip to Africa in support of the Science of ECD multimedia resource

Red River College is required by law to educate and train employees and students on the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), Canada’s hazard communication standard. As a result, a new WHMIS course has been developed and can be accessed by logging into LEARN. The course was created by RRC’s Environmental Health & Safety dept. and The Teaching Learning Technology Centre with some interactive activities courtesy of the British Columbia Institute of Technology – Learning and Teaching Centre, and a pictogram chart from the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety /Government of Canada.

eTV is pleased to have contributed to this important initiative with highly engaging, panoramic materials that enhance the learning experience for students taking this course.

You’ll find the complete WHMIS course on LEARN.
