East Cree Lessons Credits (2019-2020)
The online language-learning platform was originally developed with first-language (L1) speakers in mind, for literacy training purposes. In 2019-20, building on the previous year’s platform redesign and redevelopment – and thanks to a new grant from the National Research Council Canada (NRC) – the platform was expanded to include second-language (L2) learning content and activities for the Northern dialect. New modules were created for Dialogues, Personal Narratives, Verb Conjugations, Pronouns, and Thematic Vocabulary.

East Cree Lessons Credits (2018-2019)
In 2018-19, due to software obsolescence, the entire platform was redesigned and redeveloped thanks to a grant from the National Research Council Canada (NRC). At the same time, numerous improvements were made in terms of both content and user experience.
