Ontario Online Learning Course Enrolment Totals by Year and Course

Online learning course enrolment totals by course and year for Ontario's public and Catholic schools, reported via the Ontario School Information System (OnSIS). Data includes course codes and names, with enrolment totals that count students per course and include withdrawn or dropped courses. The dataset excludes private schools and ECPP facilities, with cells suppressed for categories with fewer than 10 students and totals rounded to the nearest five.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in online course popularity over time based on yearly enrolment totals.
• Compare enrolment volumes between different courses based on course code and name.
• Assess the scale of online learning adoption in public versus Catholic school boards.
• Identify courses with consistently low enrolment that may be at risk of suppression.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the official Ontario School Information System (OnSIS), providing an administrative record.
• Includes enrolment totals for multiple years, allowing for temporal analysis.
• Final data as of October 4, 2024, indicating a specific snapshot date.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data suppression for categories with fewer than 10 students and rounding to the nearest five reduces granularity.
