The Beaufort-Delta Education Council (BDEC) is the most northerly school board in the Northwest territories with all school boards north of the arctic circle. In 2009 the BDEC began to offer virtual schooling to dispersed students. The text below is taken from the iNACOL 2011 report [http://www.inacol.org/research/docs/iNACOL_CanadaStudy_201111.pdf 'State of the Nation: K–12 Online Learning in Canada'] in which there is a vignette focusing on BDEC.

Its website is http://www.bdec.nt.ca/
