Success Story Community Literacy of Ontario, Barrie

“Community Literacy of Ontario has had enormous success using technology to serve our members efficiently and less expensively (for them and us). For example, we have offered live, online, voice-over-Internet training to our members. This allows them to access training right in their offices without the expense and time of traveling to another centre for training. This is especially helpful as many of our members are located in rural and northern and remote areas of the province and travel is a major barrier for them. In addition, CLO has developed and designed a self-directed training website for our members called “Literacy Basics”, which has received rave reviews as it allow them to access free training when and where they need it.

This website can be accessed free of charge at: www.nald.ca/literacybasics.
