Content-Sharing
Constellation
(October 2002 - November 2008)
The award-winning Content-Sharing Constellation is a network
(or constellation) of non-profit agencies engaged in sharing
web-based information and resources related to the community-based
employment and training sector. ACTEW works in collaboration
with community-based partners including:
The Constellation uses interactive
self-publishing online tools to facilitate the automatic
sharing of online content across a number of web sites and
uses a community-driven approach to develop content from
a variety of stakeholders across Ontario. Partnering constellation
members share news, events, jobs, and or resources across
web sites. Any agency can post their own information to
any of the above web sites, which will automatically be
disseminated to the entire network.
The overall goal is to have
between 12-15 community agencies using the tools to share
information, and hundreds of community agencies posting
and sharing information through these 12 - 15 partner web
sites. ACTEW will also develop Best Practices on inter-agency
technology collaboration and online marketing strategies.
The Best Practices will be produced as guides, and will
also be developed into training workshops to be delivered
to at least 350 staff in community agencies across Ontario
through 4 regional trainers.
The Constellation project
aims to provide employment and training-related information
that is locally relevant throughout Ontario, timely, and
accessible to the widest possible community of learners.
This project is funded with
the support of the Office
of Learning Technologies, Human Resources and Skills Development
Canada and the Trillium
Foundation.
