* A decrease in the number of learning opportunities occurred during the 2009-10 year, compared to 2008-09, due to a variety of factors including:	Reduced social studies grant with limited access to the social studies “Regional team” Increase in the delivery of “technology mediated” learning opportunities. Learning opportunities offered via VC or webinar provide a cost savings for those that participate (ie travel time, travel expenses, sub costs), but are an increased cost for ERLC. Consultant time working with facilitators who have not delivered via VC or webinar, moderating webinar sessions are some of the factors that have a direct affect on numbers of sessions we are able to offer. Although the number of sessions offered is lower the number of participants increased 63%. This is reflective of the large conferences offered (Leading our Way Forward, FNMI events) offered in partnership with the region and Alberta Education.
