This article (17 page PDF) summarizes the process and results of the 2017 pan-Canadian survey on online learning. The main result: "Online learning and distance education were clearly alive and well in Canada in 2017." That said, "most institutions reported that lack of adequate resources was a major barrier to online learning. Nearly half the institutions identified lack of specialist learning technology support staff as a barrier." Same as it ever was. Also, "Far too many institutions covered by the survey were not systematically tracking developments in online learning." There is a web site for the survey if you need more details.
