Cross Canada Pockets of Innovation

The Cross Canada Pockets of Innovation showcases a broad range of examples of best practices in online learning from faculty and instructors in post-secondary education from across Canada, outside of Ontario. These descriptions highlight models and resources that can be adapted in many educational settings to improve student success in online, blended and technology-enhanced learning. 

 In this series, Contact North | Contact Nord features projects with three specific characteristics:

  • They represent a new approach.
  • They support students.
  • The developers are prepared to share their innovation, the challenges they encountered and what they learned with public colleges and universities in Ontario, as well as colleagues around the world.

This Cross Canada series complements Contact North | Contact Nord’s Pockets of Innovation Series with 135 examples of how innovative educators in Ontario’s public colleges and universities are using online learning to provide engaging learning experiences for students, as well as the International Pockets of Innovation series, which features stories from academic innovators from Ireland, Norway, France, Iceland, Spain, Italy, US, Israel, Costa Rica, Scotland, England, Sweden and Germany, with more added each month.
