In the past few days, the State of the Nation: K-12 e-learning in Canada research team has begun to solicit responses to the annual individual program survey.
In contacting individual K-12 distance, online and blended learning programs, the team indicated that the State of the Nation: K-12 e-learning in Canada research project (see http://k12sotn.ca/ ), conducted in association with the Canadian eLearning Network (see https://canelearn.net ), began in 2008 and documents the state of Canadian K-12 distance, online, and blended learning; and proposes an agenda for the further improvement of e-learning in Canada. The research and its publications provide a comprehensive guide for those involved in the field of education in Canada who are interested in or involved with K-12 online learning. More information about the research can be found at the end of this email.
We are seeking involvement fromindividual K-12 distance, online and blended learning programs to assist us with this research. Below you will find a link to an individual program survey:
