E-Learning Curriculum Development Project
Police Sector Council, 2008
The Police Sector Council is working to establish a national curriculum of “mandatory” courses in e-learning format through courses funded through the SCP and its “sister” organization the Canadian Police Knowledge Network (CPKN) . CPKN is a not-for-profit police collaborative created to meet the needs and coordinate the design and delivery of e-learning and e-working products for the police community. The objective of this project is to develop/deliver e-learning curriculum for policing - adding 2-4 new pieces of “mandatory” or “high-demand” curriculum to the inventory available to all police employees. This will be of significant benefit to policing in terms of more efficient access to skills development and enhancement.
