“Ontario students have been using online learning to earn high school credits towards their diploma since 2004. Expanding access to high-quality, Ontario teacher-led online learning will enable students to:

  • access a wider variety of courses no matter where they live or go to school, allowing them to shape their education based on their individual needs and goals
  • learn in engaging new ways, such as through hands-on, interactive features, simulations and collaboration with peers across the province
  • increase their digital fluency and gain transferable skills to support lifelong learning and employment opportunities

We live in an increasingly digital world and students require the skills necessary to operate in both the physical and digital space. By expanding and modernizing online learning, students will have greater flexibility, more choice, and will graduate with skills needed in all aspects of their lives, including to enter the workforce. Employers are looking for people who understand the importance of technology and can use it in ways that will help their businesses thrive in a competitive, globally connected economy. Online learning is one important way that students can develop these skills and become lifelong learners.

Ontario students are now required to earn two online credits to graduate.

This requirement is designed to support students to enroll in online learning courses as part of their secondary school program, to support the development of digital literacy and other important transferable skills that will help prepare them for success after graduation and in all aspects of their lives. It is guided by a vision of an Ontario where every student has equitable access to high-quality online learning within a modernized education system that prepares them to succeed in a digital and ever-changing world.” (Ontario Ministry of Education PPM167)
