The Distributed Learning Centre will be closed for
Spring Break from March 8 -12, 2010
Please note that part of the registration process includes an " Activation Assignment ". The links for these assignments are found on the Activation Assignment page.
The Distributed Learning program is an educator-led program that provides both high school aged students and adults with a quality alternate method to complete many of their high school graduation courses. Students will work both independently and in conjunction with their instructors and peers using online courses, web tools, e-mail and phone. Students will also have full access to the Distributed Learning Centre located at the Lucas Centre, which will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. The DL Centre will provide face-to-face interaction with teachers, access to a computer lab, and tutoring support. Successful online students are self-motivated, comfortable with technology, and thrive in a self-paced environment.
WHAT ARE ONLINE COURSES?
Online courses in North Vancouver are regular high school graduation courses that provide students with an alternate method of delivery. Students must have access to a computer and the Internet.
With this option students are able to complete courses:
• from any location they choose (some exams might need to
be completed in person).
• at the pace they choose.
• at the time of day they choose.
It is important to remember that while there is a great deal of independence expected of students, there are regularly scheduled times on Tuesdays and Thursdays that teachers are available for assistance in the Distributed Learning Centre.
TEACHERS PROVIDE
• a structure to the course
• learning opportunities
• direction as students proceed through the course
• assistance (via email, chat, online tools, face to face in the DL Centre)
• assessment (assignments, quizzes, tests…)
• an environment for communication and instruction.
If you think this sort of course might work for you, please refer to the section entitled Is Learning Online for You?
