Scott Leslie culls two bits of coverage of last week's PanCanadian e-Learning Forum. This first item is survey article with a generally positive tone. The emphasis is on a proposed national strategy, an idea that is gathering steam here in Canada. "There's much activity going on across the country, but there is no national strategy which we're all working towards," said Margles. "There's a lot of good stuff going on, and we may be able to leverage that better if we work a bit more closely at it." (Susan Margles is the director general for policy, planning and promotion in the Information Highway Applications Branch of Industry Canada.) I am less enthusiastic about a national strategy because national strategies usually mean a narrowing of focus and a decision to specialize. I think that 'picking a winner', creating a e-learning version of the CanadArm, would be a mistake. But I will have to write at length on this. When I get an hour or so.
