eLearning
Durham District School Board (DDSB) offers a dynamic way to teach and learn through courses in an online eLearning platform. eLearning provides students with a flexible alternative to the face-to-face classroom. This online setting can support a student's educational plan when courses are not available to them at their home school, when a flexible alternative learning environment is required or when matching student preferred learning styles to programming needs.
The benefits of eLearning include:
- Access to online courses through video and interactive media
- Learning tailored to student needs
- Easy access to resources and courses
- More credit choices for graduation
- Opportunities for parents to engage with a student's education at home
- Access to more course options for small or isolated schools
