The Ministère de l’Éducation de l’enseignement supérieur (Ministry of Education and Higher Education, known by its French acronym, MEES) has selected various school settings for testing of the Biblius platform between January and June 2020, as part of the trial rollout phase. The choice of settings was made based on a set of criteria designed to ensure a representative sample of the diversity of Québec school settings.
Besides testing technical aspects, the trial is also designed to document practices in the use of e-books for teaching purposes. To that end, each person in charge will be collaborating with various school staff members in their setting (e.g., teachers, counsellors, special-needs teachers). The projects within which the Phase 2 testing will take place will be published later this fall.
Finally, it should be noted that not all targeted school boards will participate in the limited deployment phase, but only certain groups affected by the projects within each setting.
Here is the list of participating settings:
