The ability to access and use high-quality learning resources anytime and anywhere is an increasingly important element of all forms of learning. Challenges remain in terms of coordinating the tools, standards, practices and infrastructure necessary, and building the capacity and confidence of both providers and learners to use e-learning effectively. CCL is working to bring together stakeholders to design a collaborative approach for advancing the use of e-learning in Canada in a sustainable manner.

CCL’s State of E-Learning in Canada was written to improve Canadians’ understanding of e-learning—particularly of its challenges, limitations and benefits—so that Canada may move forward in appropriate and relevant ways.
