eCampusAlberta member CCIs reach out to their regions

A number of eCampusAlberta members have been designated as Comprehensive Community Institutes (CCIs) as part of the six sector model introduced in the province’s Roles and Mandates Policy Framework. Collectively, we are working to develop a strategy for members to integrate eCampusAlberta as a partner in their efforts to provide regional stewardship. In recent weeks, a number of these members have launched new initiatives to deliver more post-secondary learning opportunities into their geographic service regions. We want to bring you the stories of these initiatives as we work together to expand learning opportunities for all Albertans.
