In 2008, educational institutions in the regions of the Lower St. Lawrence, Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula and the Magdalen Islands were facing a significant demographic decline. A challenge was becoming increasingly evident: finding solutions to make training accessible in this vast territory. Distance learning met this need. After they provided a few distance courses, the institutions quickly learned that the costs associated with the deployment of DL were considerable and that none of them had sufficient resources to ensure that continuity. From that point on, the institutions planned to join together to set up the Formation \u00c0 Distance interordres (FADIO) project, since it would allow them to share their expertise and benefit from that of others. In 2013, they signed their first collaboration agreement, set up a collaborative governance structure, formed working committees and implemented a collective action plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>
