The centre is located in G.A. Mercer Junior High School in Corner Brook and provides training and instruction to K to 12 and post secondary faculty, instructors and academic support staff in the educational use of computers and in the application of information technology to educational settings. It provides opportunities for research and development in educational computing as well as opportunities for activities such as courseware development and LAN manager training.
Training is conducted through on-site sessions and via distance education technologies.
The facility consists of two large computerized training laboratories, two multimedia workrooms and a conference room. It is equipped with thirty computers and two servers. A management committee and a board of directors comprised of representatives from each of the partners administer the project. The integration of information technology into educational settings is a new and controversial process. Available research has not offered clear direction in this process.
