IC Team 9/13

1. Discussion on consultant/trainers
 Decision on Langevin.
 
2. Report on “Furniture” meeting
3. Report on meeting with Lynne Tronsdale/”hole” visit
4. Review training materials/ opportunities  available

Heather Weiland  (University of Calgary)
Can get release for anytime except November (contract work)
What Heather can address
- creating highly participative workshops
- step by step pieces of designing  content for adult learners
- developing curriculum
- pointers on production end
 Questions 1. can she come in twice?  Get us started and the later
 2. Her cost?  3. Consult from a distance
- Is she a “trainer of trainees”?
- Does she have validated materials ready to use?
- What can we do before she does this?
- Who of  us will (I.e. – Train) actually write materials
- Can we use her in another way?  Consult, advise as needed not for a “workshop”
 
 HR – no new info: can they provide training for trainers?
 
 Langevin – expensive but will probably provide us with all we need to do our job.
 
 UTC – could provide elements we need, not all.
 
 Summary:  We need more info from Heather, and may want to use her later, but Langevin may be way to go now.
- Should we go forward with a subset of our group?
