The learner courseware adapts to special needs clients and different learning preferences. Blended (hybrid) and online approaches to program delivery enable service providers to reach clients who otherwise cannot participate in programming. Avenue provides: An electronic learner portfolio solution in Moodle; Single sign in to both Avenue and Tutela, creating close integration with Tutela and the learning resources available there; A virtual space for teachers to store digital resources for future use; Attendance tracking: teachers will be able to check how much time each of their learners spend working in their Moodle course; A Moodle LMS for CLIC, the French equivalent of LINC. Since 2010, Avenue Casnada has supported online learning through the hosting and distribution of CLB-aligned courseware, and four-stage training for language training professionals on how to use the courseware and adapt it for their learners. In response to the COVID pandemic, teachers became able to adapt Avenue for remote learning. In September 2023 language training programs funded by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development joined IRCC-funded agencies in having access to the project’s learning technology services.
