Student Care and Follow-up
- by Lise Blais Huot, Chief Commander of CPS-ECP
Mid-winter has traditionally coincided
with the middle of our training season.
However, a significant change in our
course offering has occurred, which is
no longer seasonal. With online and selfstudy
training, every candidate can take
the courses they want in the way and at
the time that suits them best.
Some say recruiting members or attracting
new volunteers is virtually impossible
online. My answer is that we need to
think outside the box. Sessions before a
screen should follow a regular schedule
and be held with the cameras switched
on. We need to organize discussion forums,
moments of exchange, and places
for questions and answers. Instructors
and facilitators don't have to be on 24/7.
It's easy to set up a schedule that works
for everyone. The advantage of creating
a group of students plus instructors via a
computer link is that it facilitates, among
other things, exchanges between students.
Sometimes, the answer to a question
or the solution to a difficulty posed
by a student comes from another student,
opening the door to the instructor's intervention
on a given subject during the
following session.
Online training requires some adaptation
on the part of instructors. Still, as in the
classroom, the warm welcome, the presence,
and the personalized support for
each participant are the best approaches
to convincing students to sign up for other
courses, join as members, or get involved
as volunteers. ■
