- Abstract
The research presented in this article proposes new training formulas for Inuit teachers from Puvirnituq and Ivujivik in Nunavik through the experiences of videoconferencing. It is based on a hybrid of face-to-face and distance training, where collaborative work is a priority. Optimal conditions for Inuit teacher training were identified through observing the various uses of videoconferencing from 2011 to 2015 -- this despite the geographic remoteness, and the biculturalism and trilingualism of Inuit teachers, which originally made the integration of this technology difficult. The preliminary results highlight advantages and limitations of such an implementation by raising issues related to biculturalism, trilingualism, technology, management and governance.
