NOTE FOR PARENTS

A special note for Home Education Parents. . .

If you’re still unsure about the benefits of online learning and how it works, check out the information below.

What are the benefits of online learning?

  • Differentiated Learning: curriculum is presented with variety to benefit all learning styles
  • Flexibility: students can work on their school work anytime and anyplace
  • Social Skills: students develop better collaboration skills that break down social barriers
  • Improved reading and writing skills

How does online learning work?

An online learning management system is a one stop-website that allows students to complete all their coursework online. There are 3 main components to it:

  • Content: Course content such as syllabus, directions for assignments and teacher created lectures, multimedia and other learning objects
  • Assessments: Students turn in assignments online and the teacher grades, gives feedback, and completes an online grade book all within the learning management system. Students can also take teacher-created tests or quizzes.
  • Communication: Students use email, participate in discussion boards, and engage in teacher- monitored online chats, along with other collaboration tools. Not only does this make communication easy, but also it allows for effective collaboration on group projects.

""My daughter was enrolled in the CLC Network online course this past fall while we were in England for a semester. The program was fantastic! The course was set up in a way that allowed flexible and easy access while offering a challenging and engaging curriculum. My daughter enjoyed the content and the community of learners. It was a great opportunity for her to stay connected to students at her academic level while learning in another country. Thanks CLC Network!"
