The GO Project & Survey The following is an excerpt from an e-mail received from Joanne Kaattari, a researcher for "Getting Online: Distance Education Promising Practices for Canadian Literacy Practitioners" (The GO Project). "GO brings together a team of literacy educators from across Canada. This team will research how online education is happening in our country. Although our focus is online learning for literacy practitioners, there are many exciting initiatives happening in other fields of practice. We want to incorporate information about online learning from other sectors." For more information and to complete the survey, go to: http://www.nald.ca/gettingonline/ * It takes 10-20 minutes to complete.
* The deadline has been extended to September 24th.
* While the survey is written for literacy practitioners, everyone's comments are welcome.
