Ontario’s Provincial
E-Learning Strategy
The provincial e-learning strategy provides provincially
funded school boards, school authorities, and
provincial schools with some key tools:
•
a learning management system (LMS or D2L)
•
a learning object repository (Ontario Educational
Resource Bank - OERB)
•
access to credit courses
•
access to online resources for classrooms
•
a seat reservation system (SRS)
•
a community of practice (e-Community).
Why E-Learning in
Technology Classes?
•Student engagement and
variety
•Student absenteeism,
review, remediation, and
safety
•Access to specialized
knowledge and materials
•Preparation for the future
•Exposure to innovative
practice of other teachers
