Dear CNIE Member,
We invite you to the April CIDER session of our 2013-14 season. This free, online session will continue our ongoing annual K-12 series by Dr. Michael Barbour from Isabelle Farrington College of Education, Sacred Heart University, Connecticut.
Title: State of the Nation 2013: K-12 online learning in Canada
This presentation will highlight the details of the sixth annual State of the Nation: K-12 Online Learning in Canada report, highlighting the latest enrolment numbers and continuity and change in regional regulatory regimes.
A new feature in the sixth edition of the study: K-12 distance education programmes that fall under federal jurisdiction are accurately represented. All First Nations, Metis and Inuit (FNMI) education falls under the jurisdiction of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC). During the 2011-12 school year, there were five FNMI K-12 distance education programmes that operate under agreements signed between the education authorities that manage these programmes and AANDC, as well as provincial Ministries of Education in some instances. Further highlights are available athttp://cider.athabascau.ca/sessions
When: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 – 11am to 12noon Mountain Time (Canada)
