Join us for an engaging webinar as we unpack the latest findings from the 2024 Pan-Canadian Digital Learning Surveys, conducted by the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association (CDLRA). The results reveal how technology continues to reshape post-secondary education, from the dominance of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and video technologies to the emerging role of Generative AI (GenAI).

Discover what students value most about online and in-person learning, and explore the biggest challenges facing educators today—including academic integrity concerns, faculty burnout, and growing pressures on technology infrastructure. As digital learning evolves, how can institutions support faculty while ensuring effective, engaging learning experiences?

Don't miss this opportunity to gain data-driven insights and discuss the future of digital learning in Canada.

Key Take Aways

  1. Technology Use is Expanding – Hybrid, online learning, and digital tools are becoming more embedded in post-secondary education.
  2. GenAI is the Future – Experts agree that Generative AI will be a standard part of education within a few years.
  3. Student Priorities Differ by Modality – Flexibility drives online learning choices, while in-person learning is preferred for interaction.
  4. Faculty Face Growing Pressures – Academic integrity, burnout, and increasing tech demands highlight the need for better support.
