FADIO (Formation à distance interordres) is a cluster of educational institutions located in the Eastern Quebec region of Canada that have joined forces to share their expertise in pedagogy and technology in order to become frontline players in distance education. FADIO represents a unique collaborative initiative that takes full advantage of education in a digital environment. Not all educational institutions have the resources to develop the pedagogical and technical aspects related to distance education on their own. Working collaboratively allows the 18 FADIO partners to benefit from each other's expertise, to work effectively and efficiently, and to make judicious choices, for example, in developing practices or purchasing equipment and services. This document describes the context, objectives, outcomes, challenges and insights, and future of the FADIO initiative.
