Nuts & Bolts (Dates and Details)Time-on-Task
Students need to know that each of the Impact Virtual Learning classes really do require ≈5 hours of their on-task time each week. No surprises. |
How it works . . . |
Learning Management System
The online classroom we use is Canvas. This modern LMS classroom requires students to use a modern browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, to get the best performance. We communicate with students inside this "walled garden" protected, secure digital classroom.
Age-Appropriate
We have had age-18 working virtually "alongside" age-11, creating their projects and communicating in the classroom together without complaint. Fifth grade is too young, but most 7th graders are able to take learning into their own hands enough to problem-solve their way through our courses. They are designed for young high school ages.
Semester-Term Start/Finish Dates
Students who have already completed Digital Learning may enroll in the fall 14-week elective classes. For the fall classes, the Week 1 assignments and projects roll out on the Monday closest to mid-September. Week 14 concludes on the Friday prior to Christmas holidays. For spring classes, Week 1 starts in mid February and Week 14 concludes in late May.
