About the Digital / Virtual Learning Division (DVL)

The DVL division manages long-term ICT-related projects, new school technology, tendering for P–12 ICT, and it works in partnership with Department branches and divisions and Regional Centers for Education.

  • Though our ICT Consultation services we provide support to the use of technology for student learning and professional development.
  • The division coordinates the evaluation and acquisition of curriculum software and hardware, and produces and distributes digital learning resources for teachers and students in public schools.
  • We also have an Innovation Center where teachers and department staff can create and explore in a supportive, collaborative environment with current tools and resources that can enhance teaching and learning.


Homework Hub provides 24/7 access to video tutorials, practice questions, and vocabulary review for mathematics students in grades 4 to 12. As well, bilingual, one-on-one, anonymous tutoring is available on most school nights at no charge for students in grades 4 to 12.


The Digital Media Production Unit creates teacher professional learning videos and other materials for use within the Department and within schools.
