IPATT is the InterProvincial Association for Telematics and Telidon. Michel Umbriaco at Tele-Universite is the Chairman, and Dave Godfrey (U.Vic) and Hans Kratz (Alberta Ministry) are the Vice-Chiarmen. The next debate is due to be held at the University of Waterloo on 3rd April. Others are planned for Alberta, Atlantic Canada and Quebec. The educational community consists of much more than the large universities. Very few colleges and even fewer schools have access to any network. Good networking facilities consists of much more than just sending mail, and some of the gateways (to say nothing of the protocols) leave a great deal to be desired. Incidentally - the Secretary of State awarded a grant of $3000,000 last year to an outfit called the Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education to study the feasibility of establishing a Canadian Higher Education Research Network. I think will more awareness amongst non-computer science educators, that money could have been much better spent.
