Contact North, which provides support services for students and institutions delivering distance education programs into northern and rural Ontario, has just redesigned its web site.
It is now organized under three main sections, reflecting its key stakeholders: students; educators and trainers; and businesses.
For students, there are three simple steps to finding a course, registering, then learning.
The site now makes it easy to identify which institutions are partners with Contact North (e.g. 21 universities and 25 colleges).
It is also now easy to identify which programs are available fully online at a bachelors’ level (nine) and at a masters’ level (five).
Congratulations to Contact North for developing a better, easy to use and well -designed web site.
