In the Atlantic Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and in New Zealand, new educational structures for the delivery of education to rural students have been developed. By linking small rural schools with one another through the Internet and other technologies, teaching and curriculum resources can be shared and, accordingly, educational opportunities for young people are enhanced. An outcome of the construction of digital intranets and, within these, the creation of virtual classes in both Canada and New Zealand has been an extension of the range of subjects that can be provided in small schools in rural communities. In selected sites in rural Newfoundland, students have been able to study University-level Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics within virtual classes in a digital intranet while attending schools in their small communities. In rural New Zealand, the range of subjects available to students in rural communities in which schools interface with one another to share resources has been considerably expanded. In both countries, these new educational structures have enhanced educational opportunities for people whose homes are located well beyond major centres of population. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
