This has been in my email pile for a bit, but it is worth passing along. Canada's Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) has approved a $7.5 million grant for a project called LORNET, "a new NSERC research network that will develop tools needed to create effective, interactive web-based training courses and programs." The project is largely the work of Gilbert Paquette at TELUQ-LICEF, in partnership with the University of Waterloo and Simon Fraser University. Industry watchers in Canada will recognize this group as the old Telelearning NCE group - "LORNET researchers have been involved in R&D on distance learning platforms within theTelelearning-NCE. Virtual-U (Calvert-Harasim), Explor@ (Paquette), JETS (Georganas) and I-Help (Greer-McCalla)" - and several of the partners were involved in the current eduSource project.
