of the LLP and Keith Bain, Project Manager of the LLP, gave
a presentation
about
the project. To complete this event, all in attendance visited
Dr. Stan Armstrong's Liberated Learning class to get a first
hand view of the
technology in the classroom.

with the University College of Cape Breton and the Alexander
Graham Bell Institute.
We look forward to working with our newest team members.
