Ontario Online Institute

Online Learning Online learning provides flexible, online access to a range of college and university courses and programs.

All colleges and universities currently offer online learning to enrolled students, with 10,000 courses and over 800 online programs and distance learning opportunities.

Work is underway to create the Ontario Online Institute as part of the Open Ontario plan. This project will bring together colleges, universities and training networks to increase postsecondary online learning opportunities for students in Ontario.

A Special Advisor has recently been appointed to consult with key postsecondary stakeholders. Learn more.

Moving Forward with the Ontario Online Institute

Building on Ontario's strong foundation in e-learning and distance education, an online institute will increase postsecondary online opportunities for students.

The government appointed Maxim Jean-Louis as a Special Advisor to work with postsecondary education stakeholders and develop recommendations for an Ontario Online Institute. The Special Advisor recently submitted his final report.

Support for the Ontario Online Institute is part of the McGuinty government's plan to help every student succeed and build a knowledge-based economy for the future.
