March Newsletter: Educational Technologies Committee Colleges Ontario

The ETC is a subcommittee of the Coordinating Committee of Vice-Presidents, Academic (CCVPA), and represents the colleges' practitioner knowledge base on matters pertaining to the application of teaching and learning technologies.

While the ETC is formally represented by a member at each college, its strength is found in the broad membership of all practitioners working in the field of teaching and learning technologies. The ETC is a network of those people who are directly involved in the practice and applied research of educational/learning technologies.
