One of LEARN’s services is an online network which links English language secondary schools within the province of Quebec. Teachers located at different sites around Quebec teach courses across the province over the Internet. LEARN students are located in secondary schools in several of Quebec's English language school boards.

A wide variety of electronic equipment, such as computers, audio and video conferencing systems and fax machines, is used in order that students can communicate with each other and with the teacher.

Teaching and learning at a distance is demanding. However, e-learning will be more meaningful for distant students, if the students and their teacher share responsibility for developing learning goals and objectives; actively interacting with class members; promoting reflection on experience; relating new information to examples that make sense to learners; maintaining self-esteem; and evaluating what is being learned. This is the challenge and the opportunity provided by online education.

Parents who become knowledgeable and supportive of online education for their child are encouraging their children to develop skills and habits that are essential to becoming life-long learners.
