The University of Waterloo’s Online Teaching Awards recognize teaching and course design excellence in fully online courses. A leader in digital teaching and learning, Waterloo has a comprehensive Digital Learning Strategy, and many exceptional people supporting our students in their learning journeys, and it’s time to celebrate two outstanding contributors!

The Centre for Extended Learning (CEL) and the Office of the Associate Vice-President, Academic congratulate Daniel Harley and David Ha, winners of the 2023 Online Teaching awards.

On November 4, 2021, the Ontario government announced an additional $8 million of Virtual Learning Strategy (VLS) funding that builds on the previous $50 million investment that will again be administered through eCampusOntario. 

The University of Waterloo has been awarded $54,470 for a project entitled "Enabling the Canadian Engineering Grand Challenges for Educators" under this latest round of funding.

We're very excited to introduce you to Agata Nowak, the winner of the 2019 J.D. Leslie Prize. The Prize represents outstanding achievement in an undergraduate degree earned primarily through online courses. This year’s winner is many things: new Canadian, wife, mother, full-time worker, housekeeper, gardener, half-marathon runner, weightlifter and now a University of Waterloo Graduate.

We are very happy to announce that April Philpotts will be joining us as our new Associate Director, Professional Development on August 22, 2019.

April has spent 22 years in the education and tech industries as a teacher, corporate training manager, and administrator, and is dedicated to helping individuals, companies and communities reach their potential.

A course created by Prof. Jeff Nagge from University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy and the Centre for Extended Learning (CEL) was recently recognized by the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education (CAUCE). Entitled Management of Oral Anticoagulation Therapy – Online (MOAT Online), the course received the Non-credit Programming under 48 hours award at the annual conference.

Online Learning, and the Centre for Extended Learning, are featured in the Fall 2018 Special Learning Edition of the University of Waterloo Magazine.
