  10. What is the eLearning Consoritum of Ontario? • Founded by Janet Millar-Grant of the York Region District School Board • The goal of bringing IT leaders in the area of eLearning together to share and collaborate in the development of eLearning knowledge, skills, philosophies, and strategies.

  11. Why was it formed? • To avoid re-inventing and re-experiencing the challenges of eLearning. • To share common needs and develop strategies collaboratively so multiple districts can benefit from a common direction. • To develop standards of practice for eLearning in Ontario

  12. What has been accomplished? • A common understanding of the importance of dynamic content • A common understanding that development work should be platform independent and conform to building standards • The eLearning Consortium was also successful in acquiring two provincial innovation funds grants to develop a total of 70 courses which can be delivered on-line through several different engines – these are now freely available

  13. How do I get involved? • Visit our web site • http://www.elearningconsoritum.ca • In one week there will be a form you can fill out to indicate that you are interested in participating in the consoritum • If you can represent your district then you can identify yourself or someone else as your district representative at our meetings.
