A Learning Materials Centre (LMC) has been established by Nunavut Arctic College to bring together information on traditional Inuit knowledge and Nunavut-relevant IPY research. The learning materials will be available in hardcopy and online in Inuktitut, Innuinaqtun and English. This project is expanding on an existing database developed by the Nunavut Research Institute in Arviat. The materials will be geared towards high school and university students, as well as Adult Basic Education and literacy program participants. This project also includes a training component with participants learning important research, interview, project management and financial administration skills. More training and mentorship opportunities will become available in the second year of the Learning Materials Centre project.
