Understanding Resources, SubjectSpaces and CultureSpaces

Resources

CultureSource.ca is a repository of learning resources designed for use in the Canadian classroom. In the e-learning world, these resources are called Learning Objects. In CultureSource.ca, we call them Resources. These Resources have been created and evaluated by Curriculum Evaluators and are marked with the CSC Seal of Approval.

CultureSource.ca Resources are web links to specific areas of our Content Partner’s web sites. New Resources are constantly being added to CultureSource.ca only by CSC site administrators, and the resource formats will expand to include audio, video and other types of multimedia.

CultureSpaces

As a registered member of CultureSource.ca, you can create one customized, personal CultureSpace and up to 20 SubjectSpaces to organize your Resources.

SubjectSpaces

Use SubjectSpaces to organize your favourite Resources, make notes about lesson plans, and describe how you use your Resources and SubjectSpaces to support your teaching.

CultureSource.ca SubjectSpaces are an easy way to group your favorite Resources and label the group for future use. For instance, many teachers will create a SubjectSpace of Resources for each lesson plan, or for specific units or subject areas. Each SubjectSpace can contain up to 20 resources. You can choose to keep your SubjectSpaces private, or share them with your fellow members.
