Source text - French Sur la base des infrastructures et expertises existantes, le gouvernement ontarien entend stimuler le développement de la formation en ligne en implantant Ontario Online, une instance qui a pour principaux objectifs de centraliser l’offre de cours en ligne à l’enseignement postsecondaire et de renforcer l’expertise en matière d’apprentissage en ligne (voir l’encadré ci-après). Dès 2010, à l’occasion du discours du Trône et du budget, le gouvernement avait exprimé son intention de créer un « institut ontarien d’enseignement en ligne » (CUO, 2010). L’annonce officielle a été faite en janvier 2014, après une série de consultations menées auprès des représentants des principaux groupes d’acteurs concernés par l’enseignement postsecondaire. Plusieurs millions de dollars ont été engagés pour financer le développement et la conversion de cours en ligne. Les établissements étaient invités à soumettre leurs propositions de cours en ligne à offrir en commun, sachant que le MFCU (2013c) entendait ne pas financer deux cours similaires. Administré par le Council of Ontario Universities pour ce qui est des cours universitaires, le processus d’évaluation et de sélection des cours devait privilégier des cours d’introduction pouvant être offerts à de grand nombre d’étudiants, de manière à maximiser l’offre de cours à grande échelle et à réduire les duplications.
Translation - English Leveraging current infrastructure and expertise, the Government of Ontario is planning to spur the development of online learning with the launch of Ontario Online, a “center for excellence” and web portal with the main objectives of being a hub for the offer of online post-secondary courses and strengthening expertise in online learning (see box below). In the both the 2010 Throne Speech and Budget, the Government had expressed its intention to create an “Ontario Online Institute” (COU, 2010). An official announcement was made in January of 2014 following a series of consultations with the main stakeholder groups in post-secondary education. Several million dollars were committed to fund the development and the redesign of online courses. Institutions were asked to submit proposals for courses that could be shared online with the understanding that the MTCU would not fund two similar courses. For university courses, the process of course evaluation and selection would be administered by the Council of Ontario Universities would favour introductory-level courses for a large number of students in order to optimize the large-scale offer of courses and reduce duplication.
