eLearning and Blended Learning Programs

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

eLearning types

We have opportunities for:

Secondary school day students

Interested Durham District School Board (DDSB) students who will be in Grade 11 and 12 have an opportunity to enroll in, up to 8 online courses per year, according to course availability. If you are interested in enrolling in one of these courses, please speak to a member of your school's Guidance department.

Families who are transitioning from DDSB@Home to eLearning should review this document for frequently asked questions about the differences between DDSB@Home and regular eLearning.

For further information, contact your home school guidance office.
