Evolving definitions in digital learning: a national framework for categorizing commonly used terms

Abstract

"This report builds upon several years of research conducted by the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association (CDLRA). Our team first put forth a proposed set of definitions related to digital learning in the 2018 National Report (available at www.cdlra-acrfl.ca/publications). Since that time, we have continued to investigate how institutions are defining terms such as online learning, distance learning, remote learning, and hybrid learning through qualitative interviews with senior administrators and consultations with provincial and national organizations and working groups. The 2021 National Survey of Online and Digital Learning asked institutions to provide their institutional definitions (if they had one) for these terms and their responses have informed this report."--(CDLRA)
