“...excellent value for our money.”
“We subscribe to a number of digital media services for our student teachers, based on the types of services the schools also have. We are very excited to have added Access Learning to our list. It provides much needed access to titles related to the Alberta curriculum, and strong Canadian content. The pricing for this product is very competitive, and gives us excellent value for our money. I would strongly recommend this product as a ‘first purchase’ for any school or school jurisdiction in Canada.” ~ Bill GlaiSTeR, B.ed., M.l.S. Curriculum lab Coordinator, Faculty of education, university of lethbridge, alberta

“...an overwhelming success.”
"The Peel District School Board started streaming videos in November 2008. We chose 800 titles from Distribution Access for our basic collection. We decided on Distribution Access because they offered a good broad based selection...their staff was very helpful providing assistance during our selection process. We are presently streaming 6500 video programs per week to over 230 locations. The response has exceeded our expectations. The concept of video streaming has been an overwhelming success. I would highly recommend Distribution Access as a digital content provider.” ~ Paul Di Rienzo Team leader, Media Distribution, Peel District School Board, Mississauga, ontario

“...the best streaming experience and content...”
“The Lakehead Board of Education has been involved with Distribution Access for over 10 years during which time we have purchased over a thousand VHS, DVD and last year digital rights from them. Distribution Access, in my opinion, has one of the best selections of Canadian content available, with many of their titles consistently on our top requested titles and frequently on our overbooked reports. Their very popular Disney series, Bill Nye is the most popular series in our collection of 11,000 titles and many of their higher level, curriculum specific titles, are spot on and difficult to find anywhere else. Distribution Access has helped us give our teachers and students access to the best streaming experience and content we possibly can.” ~ TeRRi PaRkeR-CelMeR Supervisor of library Services instructional Materials Centre, lakehead District School Board, Thunder Bay, ontario

“...and I would highly recommend it!”
“What teachers appreciate about Access Learning is that it is a Canadian based company which offers a large video library with quality content. Being able to stream or download the videos and also having access to additional print related resources makes the content very classroom friendly. As an ET leader for the district, I can appreciate how Access Learning is all about the video resources that they make available to the teachers. Access Learning doesn't push the extra add-ons as they realize teachers don't really have the time to put into this. Access Learning is very intuitive and I would highly recommend it!” ~ RoCky WilSon iT integration Specialist, Palliser Regional Schools, alberta
