Canadian Council of Learning president Paul Cappon updated readers on the future of the learning research organization today. In a nutshell, because of continued funding difficulties, the organization will be mothballed. The voluntary board will continue, and Cappon will serve as president, but as a volunteer while working on an unnamed European project. Caroline Liguori will work out of a University of Ottawa office as full-time coordinator, and there will be reports, analyses and commentaries published on the website, but no new research will be undertaken. Existing funding will keep it alive in this fashion, writes Cappon, "sufficiently long to allow for a change in political and economic conditions that might make possible restoration of government funding." Um, heh.
