In January 2020, the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) released a report entitled “Government’s Role in Digital Learning: Review and Recommendations for the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities”.
In the report, HEQCO noted “We recommend that government continue to improve access to disenfranchised Ontarians in rural and remote communities through fully online courses and programs. This is at the core of Contact North’s traditional mandate, and there is an opportunity to refocus Contact North on that central function.”
As part of the process, Contact North | Contact Nord was invited to participate in the review and made the following submissions/responses to HEQCO.
