Description
About the Node: Backgrounder
The Node was established in 1996 as the Network for Ontario Distance Educators. Our initial objectives were to promote cooperation among distance educators in universities and community colleges in the province of Ontario, Canada and to provide leadership for their exploration of new learning technologies. Soon our work online attracted a much wider audience and in response, we built resources to support an international community of educators and trainers interested in understanding online learning technologies and harnessing their potential. Our website became a base of professional support and communication, with the Node providing independent research, online resources, professional discussion forums, and publications.
The Node has been an international leader in using the Internet to build and support communities of practice, developing non-commercial, innovative approaches such as our Technologies for Learning (tfl) database, Support by Subject websites, resource-rich professional development forums, research reports and online coaching. Since 1998 we have continued our work as an independent not-for-profit corporation: the excellence of that work has been recognized through many professional reviews and awards, including the Impact Award for "changing the way people learn" from Internet World Canada ‘99.
Today The Node Learning Technologies Network continues its work as a not-for-profit organization, promoting effective uses of Internet-based technologies in education and training for a wide range of clients.
