What is Online Learning?

Taking a class in the virtual school involves the following:

Logging into the course management system called Moodle
Reading over the outline in the Moodle course
Building a work/study schedule – what work do you need to do weekly so that you can complete the course successfully in the course timeframe?
Spending 8 – 12 hours a week working on the course
Follow the work/study schedule by:
- reading and doing the assignments
- submitting assignments (scan , fax, or audio recording) on-time
- asking your teacher questions via email
- review the returned work and redo the questions/work which needs improvement
Do not procrastinate – follow your work/study schedule. Due dates are very important and you will be held accountable (within reason) to follow your due dates.
All courses will have content in the Moodle class and some will have a text book which will be shipped to you.

You are responsible for your learning
You need a computer and internet at home
Online teachers are available to help facilitate your learning by answering questions. You must ask questions!!
