An interesting new 'challenge paper' from Contact North. From the foreword to the document:
"In addition to providing access to education and training to residents in small and rural areas throughout Ontario, Contact North | Contact Nord supports innovation in education and learning through testing and applied research of new modes of "delivery" using technology and sharing of information in Northern Ontario, nationally and internationally.
Contact North | Contact Nord has developed this Challenge Paper on Technology and the Future Learning to encourage an open and frank discussion on the future role of technology in learning.
Our goal with this paper is to inform, to think about what the future will look like and how we can best use technology to ensure Ontarians and Canadians have quality access to the education and training opportunities that are critical to our future prosperity.
We call it a ‘Challenge Paper’ because some of the observations, conclusions and recommendations challenge the status quo and will be seen as controversial.Again, our intention is to stimulate a conversation by exploring the opportunities and acknowledging the challenges."
