Canadian Teachers' Federation publication on implications of online education

The Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF) has just launched a new publication - Virtual Education, Real Educators: Issues in Online Learning - which probes the growing phenomenon of e-learning or online education. "This publication is intended to assist teachers to critically examine the claims for online education in the context of their own classrooms and profession", says CTF President Doug Willard. It provides an overview of issues related to equity, socialization, privatization, technology costs and the implications of online education for teachers' work and professionalism. It also offers useful guidelines to inform policy development, classroom practice, collective bargaining and general thinking about technology implementation in our schools.
