Good morning,   I am pleased to inform you today that eCampusOntario has released its call for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) in support of the Government of Ontario’s $50 million Virtual Learning Strategy (VLS).   In my last communication of December 11, 2020, we announced that our organization will play a central role in Ontario’s new Virtual Learning Strategy, in partnership with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, intended to drive growth and advancement in virtual learning across the province’s post-secondary institutions. The strategy will expand the possibilities of traditional and life-long learning through the accelerated use of both online and hybrid learning.   For more information about the VLS:   English: https://vls.ecampusontario.ca/ Français: https://vls.ecampusontario.ca/fr/     SUBMIT AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST We invite eligible institutions to submit an EOI between January 6 and February 3, 2021 at 11:59pm ET.
