From AI to machine learning in the workplace, digital transformation has opened up exciting new possibilities to drive economic growth. But when you consider Canada’s declining economic growth, we risk missing out on the potential benefits of our ongoing digital transformation.

Now more than ever, Canada needs a workforce that can adapt to and operate within a rapidly changing technology environment. Building these competencies will require a culture of lifelong learning that spans academia and the workplace. As Canada looks to the future, eLearning is a pillar upon which to build the workforce to power a healthy, sustainable, and growing economy.

In a new op-ed published on TheFutureEconomy.ca, Say Yeah CEO Lee Dale delves into how embracing lifelong learning facilitated by eLearning at institutional and corporate levels can set us on a better path toward global economic prosperity.

Key highlights

Canadian workplaces need to become hubs for innovation and collective growth. How do we do this?

1. Take action on diversity: A large demographic of skilled Canadians remain chronically unhired. As a result, Canada is missing out on a rich diversity of thought and perspectives, which could open up diverse markets and power up innovation.
2. Get the ball rolling on eLearning: Effective eLearning is a critical part of supporting and scaling a productive learning ecosystem across organizations.

By embracing new opportunities and implementing best practices across technology, academia, business, and government, Canada can close its widening skills gap and position itself as a global leader, all while nurturing the next generation of innovators.

In today’s ever-evolving digital learning landscape, learning leaders in higher education face new challenges and possibilities. The HEQCO conference will bring together subject-matter experts, educators, and learning leaders across the post-secondary sector to explore creative strategies that pave the way for increased institutional reach and learner success.

As an eLearning agency that prioritizes accessibility, we’re always eager to discuss new approaches to making education more inclusive and decolonizing curriculum to set global standards of learning. In 2022, we worked with George Brown College to build the Universal Design for Learning certificate program—a robust eLearning project built around these objectives and co-signed by HEQCO.

At this conference, we’re thrilled to exchange insights with other learning leaders on ways to deliver more engaging, accessible, and impactful learning programs.
