Thank you for your contributions to our Professional Learning Series! These events over the past 2 years were organized as a collaborative partnership between eCampusAlberta, Alberta North, and BCcampus. Some changes in our organizations also bring changes to this partnership. While we will no longer host our monthly events together, this series will remain as an archive, and we will continue to coordinate our professional development efforts and share information about upcoming events.
