Shaping Our Future: Toward a Pan-Canadian E-learning Research Agenda
Canada is one of the only countries in the developed world without a national strategic plan to research, develop and harness new technologies for teaching and learning. E-learning, in combination with other forms of delivery, affords potential to increase not only accessibility, but effectiveness and enjoyment of both formal and lifelong learning for Canadians of all ages. This 3 week online conference is designed to inform, inspire and lead to actions that insure that Canadians maximize the opportunities presented by new technologies and associated pedagogies.

This presentation is part of the online conference:
Shaping our Future: Toward a Pan-Canadian E-learning Research Agenda
Title: E-Learning: The Promise and the Potential
Presenters: John Biss and Erin Mills
Description:
The widespread integration of digitally-based learning across all domains of learning is important to our nation’s ability to support a learning society. Canada has a well-developed infrastructure to support digitally based learning. However, for the potential of e-learning to be realized, effective collaboration between public and private providers is essential. This includes the strategic engagement of policy makers to support not only the adoption of e-learning as a valued resource but as importantly its effective implementation and sustainability. This presentation provides an overview of e-learning public policy in Canada. It proposes a set of collaborative and coordinating efforts to support policy makers, providers, users in their decision-making relative to e-learning.
