Details

Through the Co-operative Education Stream, students grow as young professionals through the four courses that they complete. That Co-op journey has inspired the idea of creating a COOP 290 “Student” whose story Co-op students can follow through their journey throughout the COOP 290 coursework. The goal is that students will identify more with the phases of career exploration and development by personalizing the process. This is intended as a team project for a team of 2-3 students.

This project is dedicated to building that student’s Co-op Story and is divided into three key phases:

Phase Two

In phase two, the focus will transition to a curriculum design focus for integrating the material and the story into the COOP 290 curriculum. This will include mapping the elements and choosing an instructional design for the coursework. It is intended that a major focus for that design plan will be integrating videos (both live and animated) to supplement the existing print material.

Students will also assist with creating scripts for animated videos.

About the company

The Co-operative Education Stream is an educational option available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce Program at MacEwan University. Co-operative Education(Co-op) began at MacEwan Unviersity as a mandatory program requirement for the Supply Chain Management Co-op Major. In Fall 2017, Co-op became an optional offering available to students from all Bachelor of Commerce Majors. In the Co-op stream students complete four courses: a pre-employment seminar (COOP 290) which focuses on career development, job search, and preparation for work experience. The other three courses are three four-month work experience courses.
