Our research team has been attending the Digital Learning Annual Conference over the past couple of days. Today, our lead researcher – Michael Barbour – presented on a recent State of the Nation: K-12 e-Learning in Canada special report:
Funding and Resourcing of Digital Learning in Canada
10:45 AM–11:05 AM Apr 2, 2019
Description
In 2017, British Columbia began a review of the model that it uses to fund K-12 digital learning. This session explores how digital learning funding across Canada. Two of the three models overlap with common US models (i.e., supplement per fee courses & FTEs). However, the third model – direct funding and/or resourcing district-based digital learning. This session will explore these three models, with a specific focus on the strengths – and challenges to implementing – this third model.
