Abstract: Post-secondary distance education is an option for community members living in many Atlantic First Nations. This paper includes preliminary results from research based on interviews with community members of Elsipogtog First Nation in New Brunswick. Most community members interviewed had taken post-secondary courses by distance education while living and working in their community. The focus is their experiences of distance education, in particular with videoconferencing and online web-based course delivery systems.
