Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 5, 1990 — Page BI “The ‘Northwest Community College's corner in the Training and Enterprise Centre (TEC) is still in the- process of establishing itself, but Norbert Hartig says its ultimate goal ‘is to increase public accessibility to both learning and informa- tion. He admits, however, the TEC facility is in something of a Catch 22 situation. While the public wants ‘to know what it can do for them, the college needs to know what it can-do for the public. Hartig says the college’ s goal is to use the facility to. deliver courses, workshops, seminars and even entire programs. It is well equipped to do just. Given it has a. satellite downlink, Hartig says the cal- lege is exploring using that method to plug in.to courses originating from across North America. Although satellite courses are American produced at the moment, he predicted more training and education programs would be coming out of Canadian institutions in the near future. The college is also now a member of the Small College Consortium -—— a partnership between the ministry of Ad- vanced Education, Open University and smaller B.C. col-_ leges — a body which jointly delivers university courses through audic- teleconferencing, the Open ’ University or simply cor- respondence.

Then he was off back home to get ready for Christmas Eve, _ More music followed from Jim Larkin; Scott Easton; Jack, daughter Jean and singers Monique and Earl Hovland and Alaine Sparks.
