Lakeshore Advance
Contact North has a mission and that
is to help people in the local
communities research and access
online education, from basic skills and
literacy all the way to College and
•niverslty, and they help support them
as they learn.
Exeter's Centre coordinator Carrie
Rawson told the Lakeshore Advance
they partner with all 44 of Ontario's
publicly funded learning institutions,
and "have a strong passion and bacilli
the way that education can change
lives, and love to share and show how
much of that education is accessible
right here, in our own backyards."
MPP Lisa Thompson toured our
centre last week, met the team and
talked to students about what they are
studying and their experiences with
online education.
They showed her the new equipment,
which is available free of charge for
students to use, and surprised her with
a demonstration of our video
conferencing system, which is one way
of delivering online education. Her
colleague, Norm Miller, of the Parry
Sound - Muskoka Riding, was touring
Contact North's Bracebridge centre,
and they had them videoconference
'face to face' between the centres, as
well as with some of our technical
team.
Rawson said both MPPs were
delighted by the surprise and impressed
by the facilities and opportunities that
are available, and the support that they
offer students.
There are more than 18,000 courses
and 1,000 programs available online,
right here in this area - "there is
education at your doorstep, and we can
111 elp you find the right fit for you,"
awson said.
