Many if not most Canadian universities have competence in off-campus e-learning. Several major e-learning systems past and present have come from Canada, most re-cently WebCT out of the University of British Columbia.
However, in recent years the Canadian political climate has been less helpful to e-learning. The main research programme (TeleLearning) was closed early; the long-standing Open Learning Agency (British Columbia) is being closed and business transferred to a new entity, and the charismatic start-up TechBC was closed and residual activity absorbed into Simon Fraser University.
On the other hand, Athabasca University continues to develop and thrive.
