Online courses take as much time as face-to-face courses.

Each day includes:

• asynchronous online lessons,
• a mandatory synchronous class,
• assignments, and
• assessments.

In an online course, you are responsible for learning. You must be diligent and dedicated.

You will spend:

• 80% of your time completing lessons, assignments, and assessments.
• 20% of your time in the daily synchronous class.

The synchronous class has a specific, set time based on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Synchronous online sessions are not lectures. They serve as blended-learning environments. Teachers assess your understanding through activities and class interactions.

You must turn on your webcam for use in Zoom for the daily synchronous class.

You are expected to engage each day in the course content by:

• taking an active approach to your learning,
• scheduling time every day to work in the online course,
• participating actively in the mandatory synchronous class,
• communicating regularly with your teacher.

Teachers facilitate learning and support you by:

• serving as mentors and guides,
• creating and maintaining a culturally responsive classroom,
• encouraging diverse and deeper thinking,
• initiating discussions,
• assessing your progress and providing feedback,
• answering your questions,
• informing parents/guardians of your progress.

Online Summer Learning courses cover the full curriculum. Each day of an Summer Learning course covers 1-2 units of material and equates to 9 days of the school year. Many students find success when taking an online Summer Learning course. Others may struggle if they need face-to-face contact with their teacher and peers.

Successful online students:

• prioritize their day,
• establish and maintain a study schedule (7.5+ hours per day are recommended),
• track their assignments,
• attend the mandatory daily synchronous sessions,
• seek the teacher’s assistance when they have questions or need clarification,
• complete and submit work on time,
• work well independently,
• attend and complete face-to-face assessments at the mandatory scheduled times.
