Description of the workshop

1) Canada’s SchoolNet - Preparing Canada for a Knowledge - based Society

This workshop will demonstrate Canada’s SchoolNet programs. Canada’s SchoolNet is a government program designed to facilitate the use of information technology to restructure Canada’s education program. It is based upon the collaboration and mutual interest of our provincial partners. We bring knowledge in the areas of infrastructure, content development, teacher training, and other programs that promote the effective use of information technology. We are providing a single door to Canadian expertise, sharing our knowledge and promoting partnership between Canadian companies and their foreign counterparts. 2) Beijing Concord College of Sino-Canada Virtual Campus

BCCSC will show how partnerships between Chinese and Canadian governments, schools, and private sector businesses will enable the establishment of a Sino-Canada Virtual Campus and the potential effect this could have on education in China. This virtual campus will be modified to suit the needs of Chinese learners. In conjunction with Industry Canada SchoolNet, the stages of development for the virtual campus will be discussed as a case-in-point illustrating the importance of partnerships to achieve success. The implementation strategy for establishing the virtual campus infrastructure and programs and the phases involved in this strategy will be presented and discussed.
