The Canadian Government has established the Educational Technology Program to encourage the effective utilization of technology to meet educational needs. The success of this program at the federal-provincial level underlies its timeliness and importance. In the area of computer resource sharing, the federal government is aware of the diversity among the provinces in terms of their needs, resources, priorities and stages of development. Thus, each province is being approached to determine to what extent it wishes to work jointly with the federal government in this or other areas of educational technology. (WCM)
