Concurrent sessions have been organized into themes of research on teaching and learning, involving undergraduate students in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), teaching and learning with technology, collaboration beyond the single classroom, methodologies and innovative approaches to data gathering and analysis, and calls for collaboration and development.

  • Introduction
    University of Lethbridge STUDENT FEE REPORT – 2004-05 Introduction • Instructional fees are only one of several financial components that determine the cost of education at the University of Lethbridge. In addition to tuition and other mandatory fees, related costs including textbooks, parking, housing and food must be considered. This report compares the changing costs of education over a ten-year period from 1994-95 to 2004-05 at the University of Lethbridge. These costs are then compared to other Western Canadian Universities for the same years. With increasing operating costs and low provincial grants, it is important to maintain current levels of enrolment. Maintaining competitive fees is one way to achieve this. • The University Calendar, Proposed Fees and Rates report, and the Student Debt report provided in depth information on all fees charged to students at the University of Lethbridge. This report gives the amount of a fee, explains the fee’s purpose, and compares the fee to those charged at other Western Canadian Universities.

  • Grant Macewan University Celebrates New Name
    September 24, 2009 Grant MacEwan University celebrates new name Edmonton... Students from across the province can now attend Grant MacEwan University, as the institution has been formally renamed by the Alberta government. “The needs of Alberta students are changing and our world-class post-secondary institutions are ahead of the curve in terms of providing the best educational opportunities anywhere,” said Premier Ed Stelmach. “Grant MacEwan University is an outstanding institution that has shown there is an exciting alternative for undergraduate studies.” “Dr. MacEwan was famous for saying, ‘leave the garden better than you found it’ and I believe that by renaming the institution a university we are enhancing and confirming the influential role that Grant MacEwan University has on Campus Alberta, the province and on generations of Albertans,” added Stelmach. Grant MacEwan University’s mandate will continue as a Baccalaureate and Applied Studies Institution under Campus Alberta’s six-sector post-secondary model. The institution provides a broad array of programs, including certificates, diplomas, applied degrees, and baccalaureate degrees. “Grant MacEwan University’s commitment to affordable, accessible and quality education mirrors the goals of Campus Alberta, which is to provide the right programs to learners where and when they need them,” said Doug Horner, Minister of Advanced Education and Technology. “Over the past few years, it has been offering high calibre and innovative bachelor degrees, as part of the educational choices available, in an intimate and comfortable learning environment.” Using the term ‘university’ recognizes the high level of baccalaureate degree programs that students receive at Grant MacEwan University. Students will have better opportunities to transition to higher learning in graduate programming and into the workforce.
