Canadian Federal Government Contributes $7.5 Million for Research on Distance Learning
Yvon Charbonneau, Member of Parliament for Anjou-Rivière-des-Prairies, on behalf of Allan Rock, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council today announced a contribution of $7.5 million to LORNET, a new NSERC research network that will develop tools needed to create effective, interactive web-based training courses and programs. "Telelearning means accessing knowledge and instruction where and when they are wanted, and it is essential if Canada is to successfully meet the challenges of the global knowledge economy," M. Charbonneau stated "Canada has invested a great deal in providing access to an on-line infrastructure, but this strategy can be effective only if combined with the development of electronic content," he added.
