This seminar discussion marks the launch of the First Nations Pedagogy for Online Learning Project funded by BCcampus and led by Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in partnership with Kwantlen University College. The project proposes to:

- support dialogue and sharing of ideas across institutions and community stakeholders.
