NOVA SCOTIA

Following a successful four-month pilot project last Spring, Mount Saint Vincent University's DUET (Distance University Education via Television) program began on January 5th. It provides credit and non-credit courses to people at a distance. A course originating in the studio/classroom on campus is "scrambled" and distributed on a channel made available by the local cable companies to off-campus classrooms equipped to unscramble the signal. This method of live, closed-circuit color TV brings a view of the professor, the notes, and demonstrations to the off-campus centre. For further information call: (902) 443-4450 ext. 371 or 388 at Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

MANITOBA

A steering committee has been formed with the assistance of a Secretary of State grant for the purpose of encouraging research on and by Manitoba women. The ultimate goal is to develop a province-wide conference on women in late 1983 or early 1984. Prior to December 10, the committee accepted proposals for research contracts for original research on women in Manitoba.
