			<title><![CDATA[Computing Education Flexible Pre-Major Analysis]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[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.<br /><br />Produced by: Michael Zastre, University of Victoria, Mar 2010<br />Document Information: PDF,  <a href='http://www.bccat.ca/pubs/ComputingEducationFPMAnalysis.pdf' target='_blank'>View article...</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[International Education Short-term Programs: Transfer Issues Analysis]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[This project was intended to examine study abroad offerings of BC post-secondary institutions; to propose an improved mechanism for students to register in and receive transfer credit for short-term international field courses;  and to develop a province-wide transfer grid for international short-term credit courses. While the final report includes a number of recommendations relating to improving information on international field course offerings, it recommended against creation of a province-wide transfer grid.<br /><br />Produced by: BC Council for International Education and David Glen, Consultant, Mar 2010<br />Document Information: PDF,  <a href='http://www.bccat.ca/pubs/BCCIEFieldCourseProject.pdf' target='_blank'>View article...</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[An Assessment of BCCAT Research]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Research on student profiles, student experiences and outcomes, admissions, credit transfer practices and on student mobility plays an important role in how BCCAT discharges its mandate. Given the importance of such research to its mandate, the Council commissioned this report with the following four objectives:

a. To analyze BCCAT research on the success of transfer students and thus the effectiveness of the transfer system.

b. To examine the effectiveness of the BCCAT research agenda in providing a multifaceted view of transfer students and the transfer system.

c. To assess any important gaps in the research agenda which if filled could lead to a better understanding of the effectiveness of the transfer system.

d. To provide comment on the role of BCCAT in a establishing a coherent research agenda and conducting research over time.<br /><br />Produced by: John Waterhouse, Feb 2010<br />Document Information: PDF, 31 <a href='http://www.bccat.ca/pubs/waterhouse.pdf' target='_blank'>View article...</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Response to Discussion Paper on a Mobile Student Research Framework]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[In November 2009, the BC Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) hosted a "Visioning Session" to revisit the framework and definitions that have been used to measure the mobility of transfer students in British Columbia. The outcomes of deliberations are outlined in a discussion paper available at bccat.ca/pubs/mobilitydiscussion.pdf.  It is this discussion paper that was then circulated more broadly across the system for further response. Feedback to the paper is outlined below.<br /><br />Produced by: Jean Karlinski, BCCAT, Feb 2010<br />Document Information: PDF, 2 <a href='http://www.bccat.ca/pubs/mobilitydiscussionresponse.pdf' target='_blank'>View article...</a>]]></description>
