Canadian College Link with Special Needs E-learning Programming
The discussion of e-learning for Special Needs led us to discover some interesting work being undertaken by Negahneewin College in Thunder Bay and Confederation College generally.
Negahneewin College is aboriginally controlled and it operates within and throughout Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It serves a catchment area of more than 250,000 square kilometers, an area about the size of France. Negahneewin College offers adult basic training along a continuum of service delivery: in campus classrooms, synchronous satellite classrooms, and through asynchronous delivery to learners in their homes. Many learners are members of the 73 First Nation communities in Negahneewin's catchment area. To provide delivery on this continuum a flexible, learner-centered model, using a broad range of online/distance learning resources has been developed.
