Distance Learning
General Infromation
New Brunswick 's Distance Learning
program offers expanded learning opportunities to all high school
students in the province by allowing registered students to access
courses online, anywhere, anytime. Course offerings currently consist
of over 40 high school courses, including all required courses at
the grades 11 and 12 levels as well as many optional and advanced
level courses. This allows students to access courses that, because
of scheduling conflicts, illness or limited course availability in
their own schools, might not otherwise be available to them.
New Brunswick 's Distance Learning program, which is constantly being improved, updated and expanded, emphasizes a facilitated learning approach. In such an approach, distance facilitators use online course chat rooms, discussion boards, email and videoconferencing to engage students in the learning process as well as to answer specific queries students may have. Local facilitators are on hand at the students’ schools to ensure that the students can access and use all of the tools and equipment they need to complete the course. Students, for their part, work independently, completing online interactive activities, assignments and tests as they progress through the course.
Classroom teachers can also take advantage of the online course offerings by registering an entire class in a specific course. In this way, teachers can use elements of the online course, such as interactive activities and animated demonstrations, to enhance their instruction and students’ learning.
Although all of the online courses are specifically designed to meet New Brunswick curriculum outcomes, they can also be used effectively to meet the learning needs of students in other provinces and countries. If you are interested in using these courses with students living outside of New Brunswick, please contact Debbie Good for access and pricing information.
