Emerging Observations
1. Blended and online practices are blurring – it is more about learning within flexible structures
2. Transition from online to blended more difficult than from classroom to blended/online
3. Personalization and flexibility critical drivers in Canada – not competency-based as of yet
4. First Nations and Francophone more organized nationally across the country
5. Research focus on better data and exploring pockets of innovation

Making Sense of the Data
• While many online programs evolved from distance education initiatives, classroom-based practice has expanded into the online environment as traditional DE programs incorporate more synchronous and ground-based practice
• Shifting from classroom to online easier than online to blended• BC: Navigate/NIDES, @KOOL/AVS embedded teachers, consortia• AB: Argyll sync, ADLC teacher partners, emerging partnerships• ON: Centralized resources/tech and support, consortia• NS/MB/QC: Centralized approaches, local partnerships
Online Blended Classroom
