CIDER Session—State of the Nation 2025: K-12 E-Learning in Canada
You are invited to the next CIDER session on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. This online session will feature Michael Barbour of Touro University California and Randy LaBonte of the Canadian eLearning Network providing the latest update in their long-standing State of the Nation reports on K-12 e-learning in Canada.
State of the Nation 2025: K-12 E-Learning in Canada
The 2025 issue of the State of the Nation: K-12 E-Learning in Canada report marks its 18th year, and the 13th year of the Canadian eLearning Network's (CANeLearn) support of this research. The report continues to be Canada's own benchmark for the expanding use of technology-supported distance, online, and blended learning in Canada. This report continues the traditional incisive analysis of the state of K-12 e-learning in Canada, as well as a description of several vignettes providing considerable insight about innovation and new approaches emerging in distance, online, and blended practices in K-12 programs across Canada.
Full results of the research and work undertaken in this study, including all annual reports and associated papers, are published on the State of the Nation: K-12 E-Learning in Canada project website. This session will provide a synopsis and overview of the latest version of this annual report.
Registration is not required; all are welcome.
