First Nations students are not as successful as the "mainstream" in post-secondary education in British Columbia. This session focuses on identifying the unique challenges these students face and illustrate important special considerations that administrators, teachers, and developers must consider to improve the success rate of First Nations students. Participants will have a better understanding of First Nations post-secondary education issues and some of the ways in which technological innovation can be used to improve educational outcomes of First Nations Students in our post-secondary system. This presentation would be appropriate for all involved in post-secondary education: administrators, teachers, course designers, and student support service workers. Peer reviewed
