The short answer is yes, our programs are offered both online and in a classroom setting, according to student preference. Since we are still awaiting approval from the Ministry of Advanced Education to implement our program, I cannot really comment on the real interest. We do have a very clear idea, however, of the perceived interest, so to speak.
For the past three years, we have had an agreement with Lakeland College, here in Alberta. This agreement expires on March 31. Under this agreement, the college translated its program, which was entirely online, so it could be offered in French. We think we can now offer something that is more relevant to the francophone minority community by training educators who are sensitive to interlinguistic and intercultural issues and to the realities of language development in a minority setting.
