The province of Ontario has an agreement to make digital learning supports available at all universities and colleges.
"Students and their families make great sacrifices to attend postsecondary education, and it is incumbent on us to do everything we can to ensure this academic year is not put in jeopardy," said Minister of Colleges and Universities Ross Romano.
The agreement with eCampus will provide post-secondary schools with the technology they need to conduct year-end assessments while maintaining student privacy.
A release on eCampus's website said it provides, "an open-source tool that lets users create over 40 types of interactive content, including quizzes, videos and more."
eCampus is a not-for-profit corporation funded by the Ontario government.
Ontario will also offer digital learning to Indigenous Institutes and private career colleges.
The provincial government is distributing $25 million to help colleges and universities during the pandemic for things like deep cleaning, purchasing medical supplies, and offering mental health supports.
Meanwhile, a day after the National Student Loans Service Centre announced it was suspending student loan repayment until the end of September, Premier Doug Ford suspended payments for the Ontario Student Assistance Program.
