La rhétorique: un moyen pour aider l’élève à faire de bons choix
Maxime Allard, Collège universitaire dominicain
Au cours de sa présentation, Maxime Allard se servira de divers aspects de la rhétorique afin d’en
suggérer l’utilité dans la démarche des enseignants qui doivent accompagner et faciliter les choix de leurs
élèves en classe ou dans un contexte d’éducation coopérative. En effet, la rhétorique a pour tâche d’offrir
des arguments persuasifs pour ouvrir des possibilités insoupçonnées et montrer la faiblesse de certaines
raisons ou convictions en faisant appel non seulement à l’intelligence et à la rationalité mais aussi aux
émotions.
Maxime Allard enseigne, conseille et est reconnu comme un mentor par ses étudiants depuis plus de deux
décennies tant au Canada qu’en Afrique (Rwanda, Burundi et Afrique du Sud) et en France. Il enseigne la
philosophie tout en présidant à la destinée du Collège universitaire dominicain (CUD). Il est aussi cofondateur du Collège néo-classique à Montréal, qui habilite des jeunes intéressés à la politique et à

Rich Tasks in the Virtual Learning Environment   
Len Baldin, Business Education Department Head, Mother Teresa HS; Stephanie Pearson, Contemporary
Studies Department Head, Holy Trinity HS; and Paula Joly, K-12 Educational Consultant, Ottawa Catholic
School Board
Two Ottawa Catholic School Board e-Learning teachers have expanded their virtual classrooms by making
connection to real world activities with the learning partner KIVA (http://www.kiva.org/). The Learning
partner (KIVA) had issued free credits for students to invest as microfinance opportunities. The students
chose from a list of entrepreneurs from over 80 countries. They then developed rationale as to why they
chose the recipient of their credit. This rich task allowed for multimodal assessment opportunities (videos,
articles and google slides) and students co-constructed the success criteria. KIVA's goals have also
allowed for cross-curricular collaboration opportunities between the Business and Humanities departments.
Len Baldin is the Business Education Department Head at Mother Teresa High School. Len is a firm
believer in the importance of financial literacy in education, and tries to find experiential learning
opportunities that enhance this literacy. He has just completed his Additional Qualification in Teaching and
Learning Through e-Learning and looks for ways to use this technology in a blended learning format.
Stephanie Pearson is a secondary teacher, technology advocate, grilled cheese aficionada, geek, traveller
