Ag courses now being offered via Internet - Heather Ogilvie, Fort Francis Times
The first agriculture-based web classroom courses ever offered in Canada will be starting up in January and those in the farming community are invited to sign up, said Ian Barrett, executive director of the Ontario Agriculture Training Institute (OATI) in Guelph. The web classroom is designed to be “a new, exciting, and different online learning experience” in which “you participate in live audio and video, have direct communication with the instructor, and interact with your classmates,” the press release stated. “With e-learning, people were just sending questions back and forth, but now everyone will be able to communicate at the same time,” Barrett noted.
