NUNAVUT ARCTIC COLLEGE

Published purpose

Nunavut Arctic College will undertake the following activities in fiscal 2021 to 2023 in support of Adult Basic Education, which include hiring a coordinator and Elders to deliver programing, obtain the hardware components to support, develop and enhance on-line course conversions due to covid 19 restrictions. This will be accomplished by purchasing/shipping learning materials for 25 communities, including connectivity hardware and laptops. Attempts will be made for staff to travel participate in meetings/conferences and professional development, as well as to communities when possible in support of on-line implementation. It is anticipated that this project will enable Nunavut’s Adult Basic Education students to continue on their learning path and better equip and organize Nunavut Arctic College in adapting their activities to new learning platforms and their offerings for distance learning, thereby preparing their students for potential changes to Nunavut’s labour market and available employment.
