It then provides some findings from a national online learning survey in Canada, including that nearly all institutions offer online education, with double-digit enrollment growth, and blended learning is common. The document discusses eCampusOntario's strategy of enhancing student experience, supporting faculty development, enhancing institutional capacity, and building organizational capacity. It advocates for upskilling as a guiding principle and discusses extending learning opportunities. The remainder of the document focuses on rethinking needs, resources, learning experiences, and recognition of learning through a lens of open practices.

Average online education enrollment growth for universities has been about 10% per year and about 15% per year for colleges. • Online courses found in almost every academic subject. More than 50% of the universities reported having courses in Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Education, Science, and Nursing. Some findings from the national Online Learning survey Reported by Russ Poulin, WCET Frontiers, WCET.wiche.edu – October 19, 2017 https://wcetfrontiers.org/2017/10/19/new-survey-tracks-online-and-distance-education-in-canada/
- 9. 9 ontario • Online learningis a strategic asset. More than 2/3 rated online learning as important for the institution, long-term. Less than half (14%) have implemented or are implementing (26%) a strategic plan for online learning, while about a third (32%) are developing a plan. • Blended learning is common. Nearly three-fourths (72%) of reporting institutions offer blended/hybrid courses. About 12% of institutions report that more than 30% of their courses are offered in this mode of instruction. • Less use of MOOCs and OER than expected. British Columbia and Ontario have been world-wide leaders in promoting open content. 5% of responding institutions use OER extensively and 35% report moderate OER use.

Turns out, most of them were willing to work for free (I didn’t let them, though what I paid was low because it was all I could spare), and turns out the whole endeavor of building the work turned out to be transformative to my own pedagogy and to the course that followed.”
