The document discusses the evolution of e-learning and its impact on post-secondary education. It notes that while Canada has highly educated populations, its post-secondary institutions have been slower than others to incorporate online learning. E-learning changes the experience for both students and instructors. Knowledge economies require a flexible workforce that can adapt to changing environments, and e-learning allows for more natural progression of learning. Differences in access to technology and information represent a digital divide that affects learning opportunities.
