Upcoming Workshops
- A workshop is scheduled for April 19-23 with a mix of College Foundations students and Trades Instructors in Rankin Inlet.
We're also speaking wiht Aurora College in the NWT and hope to arrange a pilot for late March or April.
All Six Workshops Online
- All six workshops are now online. There are of course a few typos (carefully placed to ensure you're paying attention). Edits are underway as others may not understand this time honoured methodology -:)
Thanks to all who are providing feedback both through the workshops, as associates and friends of the project, and informally through the Contac us link.
- Five of the six workshops can also be downloaded and completed offline. They are large (up to 300Mb) zipped files, but once downloaded can be completed with limited bandwidth - only external links require Internet access.
As with the online version, anyone is welcome to make use of the workshops at no charge. If workshops are re-purposed, we ask that they be provided via Open Access and that T@D is provided with a link from the portal.
Other News
- Darlene Thompson of our Associate organization, Nunavut Association of Community Access Sites (NCAP), will be presenting on ICT best practices at the First Nations Technology Council, ICT Summit, March 18-21(www.ictsummit.ca). A component of her presentation is on T@D. Conference organizers have also expressed an interest in the project and will display T@D posters.
- A limted printing of posters are being mailed out to key participants. Posters were also provided during workshops.
- The Advisory Committee met mid-November.
- A discussion paper framing the project can be downloaded from the portal. A version of this paper was presented at the Hawaii International Conference on Education (HICE) in January.
- E-learing potential is expanding worldwide: I've prepared and uploaded this e-news from Tanzania. A solar panel/motorcycle battery combination ensures I have uninterrupted power, and a USB modem provides fairly descent connectivity. Many villagers in mud huts have mobile phones and yesterday a taxi driver who only speaks Kiswahili helped me figure out a function on my 3G mobile phone. The major obstacle, as in the Arctic, is prohibitively expensive bandwidth.
