About Collegial Centre for Educational Materials Development (CCDMD):

The Collegial Centre for Educational Materials Development (CCDMD) produces computer-based resources and printed documents for teaching staff and students throughout the Quebec college network, and is managed by Collège de Maisonneuve. The CCDMD was founded in 1993 further to a major revamping of the Direction générale de l'enseignement collégial (directorate of college education) in Quebec. It was previously a division of the Department of Education, called Service de développement de matériel didactique (department for educational materials development), whose role was to provide educational, technical and financial support to college teachers wishing to produce quality printed or computer-based educational material. When its administration was transferred to Collège de Maisonneuve in 1993, it became the CCDMD.
