Abstract: In British Columbia, some families choose online digital or distance learning for their children’s education, and these children encompass students who require special funding to support additional learning or physical needs. An investigation can explore some of the phenomena within online digital and distance learning that may promote inclusive and positive environments for students. The questions within this investigation are derived from a research-based inclusive online digital and distance education framework and an appreciative inquiry framework. Using the methodology of qualitative narrative interviews with online digital and distance teachers, questions created using these frameworks can be analyzed for some of the constructs considered within incl usive and positive education. Within this study, these constructs are strength-based inclusion and self-determination. The research seeks to identify flourishing online practices to develop an inclusive and supportive online learning framework for students in British Columbia, ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all.
