When the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (now Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development) first introduced the OALCF (Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework), practitioners across the field considered how they would implement this new framework.
Two practitioners in QUILL region, Heather Robinet with The LearningHUB and Maria Bertrand with the Walkerton Adult Learning Centre, began exploring ways in which an online repository could house materials that would be available for Get SET practitioners who were working with learners to complete milestones.
Between 2011 and 2013, in partnership with multiple learning networks, QUILL created the task-based activities portal. Over the years, new tasks have been created, vetted, and added to the existing repository, resulting in over 700 tasks being used as of 2026.
In 2024, QUILL secured funding to update the website to improve the user experience, review and update all existing tasks, provide new filtering and search mechanisms, and create new ways for practitioners to provide feedback and contribute to future site developments.
QUILL currently maintains and supports the task-based activities portal which serves practitioners and learners across the province. New tasks are continually being developed, and existing tasks are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure each task is relevant and error-free.
