how and soft skills: Search for information: define a research topic,
choose appropriate search tools, conduct efficient research, evaluate the relevance and reliability of sources
Process information: analyze search results and synthesize information
1. Integrating the Profile

committee of the college network’s ICT partners: Issue 3: The acquisition by students of the IT
skills required for the continuation of their studies or their integration into the labour force
Focus 3A : Contribute to the develop and integration of the ICT Profile for Students in college programs of study

1. Integrating the Profile
Teachers’ Observations Teachers recognize that they are already
integrating activities that help to develop the skills found in the Profile!
Examples (stories from Profweb): Creating a concept map Working in teams Preventing plagiarism Publishing work on YouTube

Teachers’ Observations Variability in knowledge
Entry profile to college Exit profile from college Shortcomings and assessments
The ICT Profile offers a structured approach that facilitates the options and actions to take
A giant step in terms of the pedagogical integration of ICT
Accessing the educational potential of ICT integration
1. Integrating the Profile
Program Observations The integration of the Profile encourages a
successful integration of ICTs in programs: Consultation around a framework A progressive and coherent development of
ICT skills Implementation of educational and
organizational conditions Teacher retraining, pedagogical activities,
evaluation Equipment 13
1. Integrating the Profile
When to Integrate the Profile Implementation of a new program Review and/or evaluation of an existing program Needs expressed by either teachers or the
program Any other context deemed pertinent (take
advantage of opportunities)

Build on ICT skills already present in programs of study and on possible links between ICT and disciplinary competencies

Summary
SOFTWARE APPROACH
the program sets a methodological and cognitive
approach3 Present information (2009)3.1 Create a document with a word processor.
3.2 Present data using a spreadsheet.
3.3 Make a computer-assisted presentation.
3.4 Publish on the Web.
3.5 Produce audio and visual material.
2. The 2009 ICT Profile
Integrating the Profile – Observations Process: Inventory of practices (W2011 to
F2012) The Profile is not suited for “all programs” Questioning of the relevance of certain skills Some statements do not belong in a particular
skill
17
2. The 2009 ICT Profile
Integrating the Profile – Observations Too top-down and restrictive: imposes and
excludes tools The wording describing the skills is directed
too much at the content of the software and not enough on the cognitive and methodological skills
Does not take into account tech developments (tablets) and the risk of tools becoming obsolete
18
2. The 2009 ICT Profile
Objectives
An ICT Profile for students… All programs: whether they prepare college
students for university or for the labour force That emphasizes an information approach,
methodologically and cognitively That takes into account both individual and
collective digital responsibility

Transitioning from the 2009 to the 2014 Profile
No “need” to switch from 2009 to 2014 version 2009 Profile:
Contains most of the 2014 Profile 2014 Profile:
Presented differently More user-friendly, less intimidating A pedagogical tool
3. The 2014 ICT Profile
Transitioning from the 2009 to the 2014 Profile
Switching from the 2009 to 2014 version: Ideal opportunity for: revision, evaluation of
program Adapting, as required, local tools of analysis,
planning and management, for example: Transposing the current grid of skills/courses and
skills/competencies (example) Readjustment of the flowchart of the program’s
competencies Database: framework skills (example)
