Begun as a VCRLN service, the 2Learn.ca VC listserv continues to connect educators across the province involved with the use of VC. Weekly emails containing event, P2P collaborative and PD opportunities will be posted on the listserv by the 2Learn.ca team. For more information about the VC listserv, please contact Jocelyn@2learn.ca.

Point2Point collaborations

A Point2Point Collaborative is simply a videoconference between your class and another class in Alberta organized around a theme, event, celebration, or curricular link. Whereas the focus of a multipoint collaborative conference is generally outside performers, presenters, or classes, a Point2Point Collaborative puts the spotlight directly on your students. A P2P will be as memorable and interactive as you and your collaborative partner teacher choose to make it. For more information about Point2Point collaboratives, please contact Jocelyn@2Learn.ca.

Course Delivery Mentorship

The 2Learn.ca Education Society has created a Course Delivery Mentorship Resource Guide to support Alberta teachers who are new to distance course delivery using videoconferencing technologies. For more information about course delivery mentorship, please contact Jocelyn@2Learn.ca.

Cyberproject Creations

A Cyberproject is like a technology-integrated collaborative recipe:

Start with two or more teachers interested in working together on a common curricular unit.
Add videoconferences for your students to take part in.
Integrate technologies for your students to enjoy.
Document your process through journaling, pictures and video
Collaborate with your partner teacher and share your process using www.2Learn2gether.ca

For more information about CyberProject creation, please contact Jocelyn@2Learn.ca.
