Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land.

K-12 Online Learning Category Yes/No Comments Province-led programme Yes Video conferencing Other online programmes Yes Programmes from other provinces Provincial-level policy Yes Online Programmes Prince Edward Island does have a video conferencing system that is available for use for distance education, although it appears that this system receives little use for this purpose. In addition to the provincial video conferencing system, students in Prince Edward Island have the ability to access some online courses offered by the New Brunswick Ministry of Education. During the 2009-10 school year there were 11 french-language students and 23 English-language students enroled in eight online courses. Governance and Regulation There is no mention of distance education in the provincial Schools Act. However, in 2001 the Ministry of Education issued Ministerial Directive No. MD 2001-05 establishing guidelines for the use of distance education within the K-12 system. These provisions were superceded in August 2008 by Ministerial Directive No. MD 2008-05, which applies only to courses delivered during the regular school day, broadly defines distance education, and outlines a series of beliefs about the nature of distance education instruction.

Owing to the species'nocturnal nestingcolony of and burrow-nestinghabits, the breed- ing populations and distributions of storm-petrels, first documented in Leach's Storm-Petrels Newfoundlandby Petersand Burleigh (1951), have historicallybeen grossly underestimatedand are not presently on BaccalieuIsland,, well known. Storm-petrel coloniesin Newfoundland are vastly larger than all others in the Northwest Atlantic Newfoundland (Huntington 1963; Montevecchi, in prep.), but few quantitative data on colony populationshave been gener- ated.

In the present paper, we esti- mate the breeding population of storm-petrelsbased on measurements of burrow densitiesin all nestinghab- itats and on quantitative estimatesof the island'ssurface areas.
