Producing an on-line tutorial was a very new experience for the development team. The concept was enticing, but we had a lot to learn! We wish to thank the ENS eLearning project team members, and in particular Denis Parisien, for their expert guidance, their outstanding project-management and instructional-design skills - and their patience! The "e" part of your e-learning experience is all thanks to them.

The development team responsible for the tutorial’s contents included the following members of the Translation Bureau:

  • Silvia Pavel and Christian Beké, chiefs of the Professional Development Division, Terminology Standardization Directorate
  • Christine Hug, team leader responsible for terminotics
  • Christine Leonhardt, team leader responsible for TERMIUM Plus® Management Service
  • Claude Gauthier and Jean Charbonneau, general technicians
  • François Mouzard, team leader responsible for training co-ordination, electronic publishing and project coordinator
  • Diane Lafrance, library technician
  • Melissa Ehgoetz, trainee.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of them for the superb work they did to bring this interactive, on-line tutorial on terminology to fruition.

The team also wishes to thank Nelida Chan, who prepared the module on standardization and reviewed the other modules for us. Nelida is a terminologist with the Government of Ontario and a longtime teacher of terminology at Glendon College of York University in Toronto. She is also the international convenor and project leader for Working Group 3 of ISO Technical Committee 37, Subcommittee 1, which is responsible for the standards ISO 704, Terminology Work-Principles and Methods, and ISO 1087-1, Terminology Work-Vocabulary-Part 1: Theory and Application. Nelida’s knowledge, experience and expertise were invaluable to us.

The pilot version of the tutorial has been tested and evaluated by several specialists in Canada and elsewhere:

  • Carole Carlson, translator, Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth, Winnipeg, Canada
  • Julie Gagnon, terminologist, Canada Post, Ottawa, Ontario
  • Carolina Herrera, terminologist, School of Translation and Interpretation, Ottawa, Canada
  • Dr Jake Knoppers, computer engineer, Standards Council of Canada, Ottawa
  • Dr Frieda Steurs, Chief, Computational Linguistics Department, Lessius Hogeschool, Antwerp, Belgium

Their constructive comments are deeply appreciated and have contributed to the user friendliness of this tutorial.
