Module 4 Post #3

In their paper titled:  The effectiveness of web-delivered learning with aboriginal students: Findings from a study in coastal Labrador http://cjlt.csj.ualberta.ca/index.php/cjlt/article/view/545/268,

Philpott, Sharpe & Neville (2009) present their findings from their research study that looked at e-learning for Aboriginal students in five coastal communities in Labrador, Canada. The “study provided evidence of the importance, usefulness and learning benefits of web-delivered instruction as a viable alternative to face-to-face instruction for aboriginal students in rural, isolated contexts. ” I found the study very informative and the data they collected overwhelmingly pointed to the need and the importance for e-learning in the remote First Nation Communities. This study should be read by anyone who is thinking about or researching the benefits of e-learning for remote First Nation communities.
