Alignment of Canadian Language Benchmarks to BC ESL Articulation Levels

The ESL Articulation Committee has identifed alignments of Canadian Language Benchmarks with BC Provincial ESL articulation levels for EAP (English for Academic purposes).

Anatomy & Physiology Transfer Grid

This report was prepared by the Health Educators Group, a sub-committee of the Biology Articulation Committee. It describes a project that assessed the Introductory Anatomy and Physiology courses offered in B.C. post-secondary institutions. The project's objective was to provide easy access to information that would facilitate transfer of students with minimum loss of time, money and course credits. The resulting grid outlines transferability of Introductory Human Anatomy and Physiology courses at fourteen post-secondary instiutions. Note that the report is in two parts, the Final Report and the Transer Grid. Both Excel and PDF versions of the grid are inculded.

Anthropology Flexible Pre-Major Implementation Project Final Report

The Sociology/Anthropology Articulation Committee has engaged in a project resulting in tandem reports for each of the respective disciplines, which identify flexible pre-majors for both Sociology and Anthropology and summarize the specific types of courses that must be taken by students to allow them to transfer into third year of a major. A table of equivalencies is included that outlines exactly what courses are to be taken at each BC university and college to meet the pre-major requirements accompanies either report.

Applied Business Technology/Office Administration Descriptive Pathways

This report includes a transfer matrix of ABT/OA courses at fifteen B.C. colleges and university colleges and outlines the methodology used to create it. The matrix is based on a core set of Provincial Learning Outcomes, adopted in 1996, that established standards learners need to demonstrate in order to graduate from ABT/OA programs in the province.

Applied Business Technology/Office Administration On-Line Courses

A transfer matrix of ABT/OA on-site courses was published in October 2003. This report outlines a jointly-funded BCCAT-BCcampus project to extend this initial transfer guide to include on-line courses. It includes tables showing equivalencies of ABT/OA on-site and on-line courses at thirteen B.C. colleges and university colleges.

The report summary describes, in Canadian Language Benchmark terms, the minimum language competencies second-language students require to function successfully in first-year English and other first-year level courses.

Community and School Support Transfer Matrices

This report includes two sections, a CASS Articulation Guide for Instructors and Institutions, plus a summary of the process followed to produce it. The Articulation Guide includes (a) course transfer matrices for fourteen public institutions in B.C.; (b) learning outcomes for seven major curriculum categories; (c) description of a process for adding new courses and updating the matrices on an annual basis.

Computing Education Flexible Pre-Major Analysis

This report describes the traditional approach to articulation in Computing Education and outlines the rationale for using a learning outcomes approach as a basis for a Flexible Pre-Major. Outcomes for discipline-specific learning in both Computer Science and Information Science/Information Technology are provided. It concludes that a Flexible Pre-Major can be developed to facilitate students transferring institutions into a major at the third year level, recommending one be developed on the basis of learning outcomes and on the concept of a basket of courses rather than the more typical multi-lateral grid of individual course equivalencies.
