CDLRA releases 2025 Pan-Canadian Report on trends in digital learning 

The Canadian Digital Learning Research Association has officially released the 2025 Pan-Canadian Report, which explores the results of the CDLRA’s annual Digital Learning Trends Survey and a student survey conducted by Academica Group. The report examines trends in digital learning and asserts that the majority of staff and faculty respondents expect growth in online and hybrid learning over the next two years. The researchers note that student participation in online learning appears to be primarily driven by the need to balance competing personal priorities, a desire for cost savings, the affordability of housing, and access to reliable transportation. OER awareness has remained unchanged over time. The authors assert that institutional financial stability, enrolment shifts, AI policy and strategy development, and academic integrity were flagged as being the most pressing challenges facing higher ed on this front.
