In Dec. 2012 – Feb.2013, Camosun Piping Department Foundations (Pre-apprenticeship) Programs undertook the process of Program Review and Renewal (PRR)
Development of online textbooks
• We began exploring options for creating customized textbooks
• We talked to major publishers as well as government.
• Primary concerns from our PRR were: Cost Compatibility with assistive learning
