e- Learning: An Alternative Learning Opportunity

Day school Program

Secondary students across Toronto District School Board(TDSB) are invited to take one or two e-Learning courses on their day school timetable. Students will remain on the roll at their day school.

The on-line classroom provides an innovative, relevant and interactive learning environment. The courses and on-line classroom are provided by the Ministry of Education.

These on-line courses

are taught by TDSB secondary school teachers;

are part of the TDSB Student’s timetable; and

appear on the Student’s report upon completion.

Benefits of e-Learning

access to courses that may not be available at his or her TDSB school;

using technology to provide students with current information: and,

assistance to solve timetable conflicts.

Is e-Learning for You?

Students who are successful in an on-line course are usually:

able to plan, organize time and complete assignments and activities;

capable of working independently in a responsible and honest manner; and,

able to regularly use a computer or mobile device with internet access.

Students need to spend at least as much time with their on-line course work as they would in a face-to-face classroom course.
