En mars 2019, le gouvernement de l'Ontario a annoncé qu'à compter de 2023-2024, les élèves du secondaire (de la 9e à la 12e année) seraient tenus d'obtenir quatre des 30 crédits de fin d'études dans des cours en ligne. Au moment de la déclaration de la politique, ces quatre crédits deviendraient les premiers cours en ligne obligatoires en enseignement canadien de la maternelle à la 12e année. La décision politique et le processus ont été contestés publiquement, et le contexte éducatif a aussi changé rapidement du fait de la pandémie mondiale et des confinements subséquents. La politique a été révisée par la suite et, à l'heure actuelle, l'Ontario exige deux crédits d'études secondaires en ligne obligatoires pour l'obtention du diplôme, ce qui est le double de l'exigence de toute autre juridiction nord-américaine. Dans cette étude, les chercheurs emploient un cadre d'analyse stratégique critique pour examiner le concept d'apprentissage en ligne obligatoire en Ontario dans de multiples contextes temporels. Premièrement, ils examinent la politique d'apprentissage en ligne obligatoire de l'Ontario avant la fermeture des écoles de l'Ontario pendant la pandémie mondiale de 2020-2021. Ensuite, ils examinent les aspects de la politique d'apprentissage en ligne obligatoire de l'Ontario de la maternelle à la 12e année pendant la phase d'enseignement à distance d'urgence de la pandémie. Dans la dernière section, les auteurs fournissent une analyse rétrospective des décisions concernant la politique d'apprentissage en ligne obligatoire et explorent les options politiques pour l'avenir de l'apprentissage en ligne obligatoire dans le secteur K-12 post-pandémie.
