Project

In 2014, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto embarked on a reflective and forward-looking exercise to explore the current state of eLearning activities and to chart a path forward to establish the Faculty as a current and future leader in medical education eLearning curricula and technology and to anticipate future technological needs.

A series of strategic recommendations were developed as a result of this comprehensive assessment, which established a roadmap to advance the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto as a global leader in eLearning across the education continuum. These recommendations cluster around four key themes: Strategic Planning, Faculty Development and Scholarship, Funding and Infrastructure and Resources.
