Education CoNNect is an electronically enhanced Distance Education program offering students all the advantages of the print-based program, with the benefit of electronic support. Courses are based on the existing Distance Education materials with special projects, alternative units, course adaptations and resources posted on line. Some courses use multimedia CD-ROM resources and others may be completed on line.
Students have email links to their school, their instructors, and to their peers.
They may also participate in on line discussion groups and teleconferences with outside experts. CoNNect requires a computer with a CD drive and access to the internet. A refundable deposit may be required for the resources. Registration for the full CoNNect program must be received by the Distance Education school before September 30, 2000. Enrolment in CoNNect courses may occur at any time throughout the school year.
