Ontario Catholic eLearning Consortium

The Ontario Catholic eLearning Consortium (OCeLC) was established by Catholic school boards as a parallel offer to the Ministry of Education Ontario's Ontario eLearning Consortium.

Its website is http://www.ocelc.com/

Further information

"While the OeLC has three Catholic school boards as members, recently the Catholic school boards have also created their own Ontario Catholic eLearning Consortium (OCeLC). The purpose of this second organisation “is to provide equity of access for Catholic secondary students to take [online] secondary credits developed and taught by Catholic teachers.” The OCeLC does have an agreement to share students, however, they do not waive the required course fee like the OeLC does." iNACOL 2010

The OCeLC utilises the Ministry (of Education's) Learning Management System (LMS) and the Ontario Education Resource Bank (OERB).
