Research and Practice of E-Learning in Canada 2008

Abstract

Any view of e-learning in Canada must be informed by the uniquely Canadian feature of provincial jurisdiction over education. Therefore any investigation of e-learning in Canada must focus more on specific provincial initiatives in technologically enhanced learning rather than a Canadian overview. A distinctive “Canadian” model does not exist. The provinciality of Canadian e-learning serves to highlight the inability of Canada to sustain national strategies and focus as in other countries due to the fractious nature of federal/provincial relations in education.
