About Us

The award-winning Advanced Broadband Enabled Learning (ABEL) program strives to improve results through knowledge sharing and collaboration and its professional learning networks. This is achieved through a research-based approach to building collaborative learning communities, implementing blended learning environments for classrooms, schools and districts, using interactive web-based learning resources, developing sustainable inter-jurisdictional and inter-institutional collaboration and understanding institutional change.

Founded in 2002, the ABEL program is led and funded by York University (Toronto) and the York Region District School Board (YRDSB). Since its inception, the ABEL program has been working with educators in classrooms across Canada. The program has established national and international credibility as an authority in new modes of learning into classrooms.
