CADE coverage continues... I saw a nice presentation from this LearnAlberta project today (the presentation, which was mostly a live demo, is not available). Some very good work that really shows the potential of learning objects. These are not available online yet, since they don't have a proper repository for them, but some should be available by September. Others, which involve the use of licensed material, will not be available for public viewing at all, raising the question of how the public can monitor what is being taught in schools - relevant since the one National Geographic clip we saw from the repository, about volcanos, referred to 'mankind,' an obsolete term. It is worth noting that it took 18 months of negotiations to license the National Geographic content, and that LearnAlberta staff have decided that it is much better to create - and share - their own material, according to the presenters.
