Advanced Broadband Enabled Learning (ABEL) promotes a learner-active, technology infused classroom within the context of Information Communications Technology and the Learner: A curricular Document, the YRDSB’s Plan for Continuous Improvement and the Commitment to System Literacy.
This is achieved by building collaborative learning communities (administrators, teachers, faculty, pre-service teachers and students); implementing blended learning environments for classrooms, schools and districts; using interactive web-based learning resources; and developing sustainable inter-jurisdictional and inter-institutional collaboration.
Various reports confirm that broadband can improve educational effectiveness by enabling a school board’s network to be world connected and capable of providing enhanced services district-wide (see http://nationaledtechplan.org/theplan/Recommendations.asp and http://www.becta.org.uk/corporate/extra_out.cfm?id=3320).
