We’re living in a virtual world these days. From Twitter to
Facebook, iPads and laptops, students are spending more time online than ever.
At the DSBN, we recognize the internet’s potential to be a
powerful resource for lifelong learning, and understand the need to provide
opportunities for students to learn in innovative and engaging ways. Supporting the
needs of 21st century learners, e-Learning credit courses have been offered to
students since September 2009 as part of their day school program.
E-Learning courses enable students to learn in a more flexible engaging
environment, uses technology to provide students current, accurate information,
and increases opportunity for students’ first choice courses.
Students may select an e-Learning course that is
not available at his/her home school and/or the selection of an e-Learning
course may resolve a timetable conflict. Students need to spend at least as
much time with their online course work as they would in a face-to-face
classroom course.
Students who are self directed, motivated, and
able to plan, organize time and complete assignments and activities, along with
being comfortable with technology, may want to consider an e-Learning course.
