What will happen to the existing mentors and volunteers or faculty?
Athabasca University employs more than 1,100 tutors, worldwide, to support the delivery of a wide variety of Arts, Science, Business, Nursing, Education and other undergraduate and graduate programs. The RAIC Syllabus Program will fit well into this model. The number of tutors required in each region will be identified as part of program redesign. All Architects in Canada will be invited to apply for the teaching positions which will be available across the country. A rigorous selection process will ensure our students are instructed by the most talented and dedicated teachers, nation-wide. Many of the existing subject-matter experts, along with top Architectural educators from across Canada, will be invited to develop the specific distance delivery courses for the academic parts of the Syllabus Program.
