I ran across this report (43 page PDF) while responding to a request for information. It's definitely worth sharing. Basically, "Colleges and Institutes Canada therefore undertook an environmental scan to ascertain how these courses are defined in Canada, what they look like and where they are being offered." What they found was very much a mixed field but also a great deal of interest. "Respondents saw them as an important component of their range of programs and agree that they should be stackable, flexible, validated and accessible to vulnerable populations."
