Osgoode Professional Development helps internationally-trained lawyers with new online course unique in Canadian legal education\nTORONTO, April 9, 2015 – Osgoode Professional Development (OsgoodePD) – a world leader in law school lifelong learning – will use a substantial award from the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade to create an innovative online exam preparation course to help internationally-trained lawyers who are Ontario newcomers qualify to practise in the province.\nThe new course, which goes live in June, will provide a high-quality, multi-media learning experience including quizzes and assessment of practice exam answers, and is a major step forward in digital legal education in Canada. For many internationally-trained lawyers, the first step toward becoming licensed to practise in Ontario is successful completion of examinations in Canadian law set by the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA). Since 2010, OsgoodePD has offered an exam preparation course at its facilities in downtown Toronto in a face-to-face lecture format.\nOn April 7, The Honourable Michael Chan, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade, announced that OsgoodePD has been awarded up to $572,431 over a three-year period to cover the costs of converting the four existing modules covering Foundations of Canadian Law, Criminal Law, Administrative Law and Constitutional Law from face-to-face lecture formats to online formats. In addition, the funding will be used to create a new online module for Professional Responsibility, a module with information about how to qualify as a lawyer in Ontario, and the development of an online community for NCA Exam Prep Program alumni.\nOsgoodePD’s new course is one of 10 new Ontario Bridge Training Projects announced by Chan to help more than 6,000 internationally-trained people find jobs that match their skills and experience.\nVictoria Watkins, Assistant Dean & Executive Director of OsgoodePD, said its unique Online NCA Prep Program is intended to make preparation for the NCA exams more effective, accessible and affordable than existing face-to-face offerings.\n“By making these courses available online and on-demand, participants have the flexibility to take the courses at a pace that fits their schedules. Those living outside of Toronto will no longer incur the additional costs of travel and accommodation in Toronto,” Watkins said.\n“Another key benefit of taking the course online is that students can go over material and do the sample exam questions as many times as they need to. This is a significant improvement over traditional face-to-face lectures, particularly for those whose first language is not English.”\n“Ultimately, the goal is to have students do well on the exams and feel comfortable and confident in their knowledge of Canadian law as they pass into the next phase of the licensing process.”\nOsgoode Professional Development, which operates out of facilities at Yonge and Dundas Streets in downtown Toronto, offers both credit and non-credit programs for Canadian and international lawyers, paralegals, non-law professionals, and firms and organizations.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
