SchoolNet Digital Collections
What a great idea! Industry Canada contracted students from all provinces to create digital resources for their SchoolNet Digital Collections project. The students experience the realities of "job responsibilities" and learn multimedia skills that they can use later, helping to grow the industry in Canada. All Canadians gain access to the online collection of resources. Everyone benefits.

NOVA Online
The venerable public television series, NOVA, offers online resources relating to its collection of episodes.
