I'm not sure what its like up in Canada, but down here in the states, it's only getting worse. One of the schools I adjunct for online has just recently changed one of their capstone classes, which was writing heavy, to a class where all content is delivered and assignments submitted through recorded voice content. This is a disturbing trend where writing skills are being shelved, because it puts too much stress on the student and creates too many opportunities for failure. Another school recently killed off remedial classes for similar reasons. To me, we're not doing these students any favors and are regressing to the lowest denominator, setting the stage for the Idiocracy prophesy to become reality.
