The document discusses the ICT Profile, which is a framework that colleges can use to help students develop information, methodological, and technological skills. The ICT Profile consists of 5 skills: searching for information, processing information, presenting information, working in a network, and using ICTs efficiently and responsibly. It is a universal framework that can be adapted to any college program. Implementing the ICT Profile involves teachers integrating it into the curriculum with help from an ICT pedagogical advisor and ICT subcommittee.

3. The ICT Profile for College Students is a
framework that teachers and colleges can rely
on to help their students develop the
informational, methodological, and technological
skills required.
What is the ICT Profile?
ICT = Information and Communication Technologies

4. Rare is the college curriculum that does not
involve searching for, processing and presenting
information.
The ICT Profile sets out an approach that allows
these skills to be acquired within a single course
or an entire program.
What is the ICT Profile?

5. The Dawson Graduate Profile is based upon the outcomes
that were identified in the report College Learning for the
New Global Century issued by the Association of American
Colleges and Universities in 2007.
The report recognized that today’s students will need broad
knowledge, strong intellectual skills and a grounded sense of
ethical and civic responsibility to be able to meet the myriad
challenges of the 21st century with respect to environmental,
global, intercultural, technological and scientific changes.

6. The Graduate Profile builds on and expands program
competencies and can be viewed as cross-curricular in
that all students, regardless of the program in which they
are enrolled, should develop these outcomes. These
outcomes are integrated and supported extensively
throughout the curriculum and outside of the curriculum
through a deliberate and systematic approach.

7. It consists of five skills. Each skill has
defined objectives that involve tasks to be
accomplished. It therefore presents a three-level
structure of elements.
Universal, it can be adapted to all programs and
to all colleges.
ICT Profile Characteristics

8. Relevance for Students
Prepares students for the labour market, university
and for a digital society
Information and technological skills required for:
All technical or career programs: biological,
physical, social, business, arts areas
All pre-university programs: Social Sciences,
Sciences, Arts, Literature and Communications, etc.

10. ICT Profile Characteristics
An ICT Profile for students:
All programs that put forward a cognitive and
methodological approach (knowledge, skills, soft
skills)
Options within the programs using software
applications in order to master a skill
More flexible and simplified structure
Long-term, independent of technological change

11. lt targets all students, including those with
disabilities.
Its logic is similar to “Universal Design for
Learning” (UDL), which aims to develop
pedagogical skills for all learners.
It offers the help needed to acquire technological
skills to support the mastering of high-level skills,
whether informational, methodological or
cognitive.
ICT Profile Characteristics

12. It gives teachers in programs flexibility when it
comes to choosing software applications and the
right digital environment to use for mastering a
skill.
Because it is independent from technological
changes, its relevancy will last longer.

This skill offers students a toolbox that will allow them to:
•use technology efficiently during their college studies by mastering their work
environment and by developing autonomy.
•adopt good habits when it comes to using ICT.
•develop a set of behaviours that encourage them to be aware and responsible citizens.

To fully integrate the ICT profile in a curriculum, it is
essential to have the willingness of a college’s director
and its teachers.
As well, IT-REP/RepTIC Network studies show that the
ICT pedagogical advisor plays an important role in
effectively guiding the work.

recommended that members be selected according to
the disciplines in a program of study. The committee
assists the teacher given release time as well as the
ICT pedagogical advisor.
It participates in and guides the development of a plan
for integrating the ICT profile.
