Alexander College:
- Proposed new course: History/Film
Athabasca University:
- Full-time faculty: Reduced to 5 from 6 because of one lay-off April 2014

- Hiring: 1 term position
- Sections per year x contact hours:
o Full-time faculty = 1 block (32 students), continuous enrollment x 3 hours
o Tutors = up to 4 blocks (128 students) x 3 hours
- Lectures: Athabasca University has continuous enrollment and courses are offered in an
un-paced environment for the most part but classroom based courses are offered through
collaborating institutions e.g., 3 sections of HIST 224 was offered at Blue Quills First
Nation College over the last 5 years.
- Proposed new course: HIST 388 Vikings
- Dropped courses: Likely to lose a number of Asian History courses owing to layoff
- Prior Learning Assessment: Yes, to a max of 9 credits

Camosun College:
- Class sizes: all offerings are combined lecture/seminar courses and maximum number is
flexible but should average out to 35 per course section

Capilano University:
- Proposed new course: HIST 3xx: Revolutions in History
o This course will explore the relationship between revolutions and their impact on
a variety of societies during a specific historical period or circumstance. Main
themes will include the role of revolutions in contemporary societies, views and
attitudes towards revolutions, the ideas and thoughts behind revolutions, as well
as the outcome of these revolutions on the wider world.
o The first time this course is offered it will examine four key political revolutions
in recent history, including the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the
Russian Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution.
o This course has been developed to add to our current upper level complement of
offerings. Various revolutions in history have had consequential and long-lasting
effects upon the lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout the world.
This course would illustrate the impact of ideas, actions, and the development of
governmental policies on both the domestic populations and the global
populations.
