Just five per cent of students on average per high school in Ontario are currently enrolled in online courses, and some have trouble learning so independently, says a report released Monday.
on technology in schools comes shortly after the provincial government announced that all high school students will have to take four e-learning credits -- out of the 30 credits needed for a diploma -- starting in 2020-21.
Online skills are important in this age of technology, but making this move won't be simple, she said. "Do you know there are school boards across this province that lead by example, and their students are embracing online learning?" she said in the legislature. "It doesn't matter whether it's rural Ontario, northern Ontario or urban Ontario; teachers and boards are leading the way."
The government is expanding broadband, to try to ensure all students have access to reliable and fast internet at school by 2021-22.
