Distance Learning

Distance learning provides a positive way of addressing teacher availability in Arkansas while providing quality educational opportunities to students anywhere in the state.

The list of available classes and periods for the 2008-2009 school year may be accessed online through the Distance Learning Portal. All courses will be delivered using Compressed Video technology and are Web-based.

Distance Learning Focus Areas:

1. To help alleviate the increasing shortage of available qualified teachers.
2. To provide additional course scheduling opportunities of students currently forced to choose between courses that are scheduled infrequently or concurrently.
3. To provide an opportunity for students to access an enriched curriculum and additional courses beyond those mandated by the Standards for Accreditation of Arkansas Public Schools.
4. To develop and make available online professional development and instructional resources for all teachers and administrators.
