International Pockets of Innovation

Ground-Breaking Practices in Online Learning From Educators

The International Pockets of Innovation series showcases a broad range of examples of best practices in online learning from faculty and instructors in higher education around the world, including Ireland, Norway, France, Iceland, Spain, Italy, US, Israel, Costa Rica, Scotland, England, Sweden and Germany, with more added each month. 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.

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

This international series complements Contact North | Contact Nord’s Pockets of Innovation Series with 135 examples of how innovative educators in Ontario’s public colleges and public universities are using online learning to provide engaging learning experiences for students as well as the Cross Canada series with examples from Canada, outside of Ontario.
