As a result, the entire scope – from the absence of ICT to the optimal use of smart classrooms (SmartBoard, document camera, online resources and activities, etc.) – can be found at FSJ

  9. More than 30 courses have a WebCT component • Another 30 or so courses have a Web-based component • FSJ offers a number of distance learning courses through videoconferencing and the Web • Videoconferencing is used only for the MEd program; Four to six courses are taught this way annually • A single linguistics course is entirely Web-based • Gaps in training and resources limit our ability to expand our e-learning and videoconferencing services
