Useful Info

How can CDLI benefit me as an Educator?

As noted in the ‘About Us’ section, CDLI’s activities relate to three general categories:

  • eLearning in the K-12 setting;
  • Information, Communication and Learning Technology (ICLT) Integration; and
  • Teacher Professional Development.

These areas form the basis for a number of ways in which CDLI may be of benefit to you as an educator.

Online Resources

CDLI has developed a large quantity of online resources than can be used by both teachers and students. To access these, just navigate to the Learning Resources area and follow the links. The materials are organized by course and contain a variety of learning content including:

  • Lessons
  • Multimedia Learning Objects
  • Reviews of Public and Final Exams
  • Course reviews for writing final or supplementary exams

To access this content you will need a CDLI portal account. If you already have one, simply Login. For a more detailed summary please go here.

Teachers may use these resources as part of their regular routine. Here are some ways they have been used:

  • empowering students who wish to move ahead at their own pace;
  • serving as supplementary resources;
  • serving as a foundation or as a source of ideas for daily lesson plans;
  • providing a source of good activities for homework or independent study; and
  • providing remediation, as required.

ICLT Integration

CDLI oversees a large variety of ICLT integration projects. These are generally of two types:

  • Classroom-focused projects in which the scope of the project is limited to a small number of classrooms. Examples include the music and mathematics integration projects.
  • Province-wide projects. Examples include the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) project and the Province-wide software licensing program.

CDLI Programming in Your School

Finally, as an educator, you might consider the potential that CDLI holds for providing programming to your school. If you are in a small school in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador that is not currently availing of CDLI’s services this may be worth a look. Here are some things you might consider:

  • Would a particular program be strengthened in my school by working with CDLI to add courses not currently taught?
  • Are there individual students or small groups of students in my school who could use CDLI to avail of a course that would not otherwise be offered?
  • Are there individual students in my school’s catchment area who could benefit from CDLI because they are not able to attend school?

You might consider discussing these items with the administration team at your school.
