In 2023-24 two NLS research consultants collaborated with ISANS on the SDI research project Best Practices in Synchronous Online Teaching. During this research project, a Best Practices Guide was developed to help EAL instructors enhance their instructional practices in synchronous and blended learning in the context of a LINC/ PBLA program. The Best Practice Guide is a practical tool, based on findings from the research,

The Avenue Learner Standards for Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) are designed to
give instructors and administrators a framework for providing lessons and course offerings that build
learner competence with technology, primarily for language learning and use. These standards are

What are the effects of LINC Blended Learning on learners, teachers and programs? Are there benefits or drawbacks? In September 2017 LearnIT2teach evaluators Jill Cummings, Matthias Sturm and Augusta Avram set out to gather evidence from field research at the LINC program of the Burnaby District School Board in the Lower Mainland of B.C. Three teachers, 45 learners, the program manager and a learning technology

Based on research and evaluation since project inception in 2010, this report summarizes results from two surveys of the implementation of learning technologies in LINC programs in Ontario and across Canada. There are plentiful examples across Canada of successful uptake by individual teachers and in some cases, entire programs. Surveys completed by training participants indicate 90%+ satisfaction with the training offered by the project.

In addition to our four-stage blended learning teacher training, since 2015 the project has been developing, piloting and hosting online training for LINC managers or lead teachers. Our aim has been to encourage emerging learning technology leadership and build knowledge and awareness of blended learning opportunities and challenges facing local leaders.
