1. Are the objectives and mandate of the OLT still relevant given the current situation? Is it realistic to aim at closing the Digital Divide? What should be the role of the federal government in the future?	Opinion of experts in the learning technology field Analysis of needs of target audience Assessment of learning technologies status, gaps and trends Availability of technical infrastructure (computers, networks, internet connection, technical support systems, CAP sites)	Document Review Interviews Survey of sponsors Survey of unfunded projects Survey of partners and community leaders Panel of Experts
2. How and to what extent does OLT contribute to the development and use of learning technologies in Canada? Does the program improve the ability of Canadians to adapt to the needs of the labour market?	Observations of sponsors and partners Observations of end-users Distribution of LTI and CLN funded projects funding levels settings (home workplace, community learning centres) end-users regional differences Summary of policy forms held Opinion of experts in the learning technology field Regional perspective Socio-economic well-being Employment Shortages and needs Skills requirements Resources, capacities and infrastructure Learning technologies developed and used without OLT funding settings (home workplace, community learning centres) end-users regional perspective	Document Review and Administrative Data Analysis Interviews Survey of sponsors Case studies (with focus groups) Survey of unfunded projects Survey of partners and community
3. To what extent has the OLT succeeded in the development of partnerships with private sectors, communities, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and governments? Have the partners been contributing to expand delivery networks and content development? What are the principal determinants of success and barriers to partnership?
