Aurora College’s developmental studies program will be using online learning classes taught by the remaining instructors across its three campuses to save costs, reports Cabin Radio. Aurora President Angela James said that the move will “streamline delivery and make better use of our subject matter specialist instructors,” while also freeing up funding for other areas, such as academic supports, IT, and wellness supports. However, NWT Literacy Council Executive Director Kathryn Barry Paddock told Cabin Radio that online learning comes with its own challenges for learners, including those with different learning styles, a lack of access to reliable internet, or in need of additional learning support.
