State of E-Learning in Canada

The Canadian Council on Learning has just released the State of E-Learning in Canada which was "written to improve Canadians’ understanding of e-learning—particularly of its challenges, limitations and benefits—so that Canada may move forward in appropriate and relevant ways."

The findings are not particularly original and include:

• Canada does not have a comprehensive plan for e-learning
• Adoption of e-learning is slower than anticipated
• Lack of communication and collaboration among stakeholders
• The need for more research.
