This document discusses the need for a pan-Canadian e-learning research agenda. It notes that while many research opportunities and questions exist, there have been no systematic efforts to define or address issues through research. Developing an agenda could catalyze action, create a shared community, focus ideas, provide direction, allow for collaboration, and attract funding. The document reviews different approaches to developing an agenda and barriers to e-learning research. It argues that an integrated, pan-Canadian agenda is needed to energize the research community and ensure discovery and adoption of innovations.
