E Lecture
Welcome to the CIF/IFC's National Electronic Lecture Series
The CIF/IFC is offering an interactive electronic lecture series. Lectures will run for approximately one hour on Wednesdays at 1:30pm EST and will feature experts and practitioners from across Canada.
How do I participate?
The lectures are easy to access and efforts have been made to keep them user-friendly. Once registered, an email will be sent out to you providing the speakers' presentation and the step by step instructions for participation. At the time of the lecture, you simply call into the teleconference and follow along with the presenter on your computer. All that is required is a computer and a phone (preferably with a speaker).
What about Continuing Education Credits?
Several Provincial RPF and RFT organizations have evaluated the lecture series for their continuing education programs. The CIF also has a voluntary continuing education credit system that you can earn credits for through the lecture series. If you would like more information please don't hesitate contact us (questions(at)cif-ifc.org).
Organizations are welcome to contact us to discuss the possibility of a themed lecture series or for sponsorship opportunities.
