Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Student eLearning
Check our FAQ, below, for answers to many commonly asked questions about eLearning.
|
|
| When does my class meet and when do I work in an online course? | |
| Class times are flexible, but students need to complete assignments approximately every day. There may be some face-to-face class sessions and attendance is required. All other work may be done at times convenient to the student. Students who do not attend the required face-to-face sessions will not receive credit for the course. | |
| How is an online class different from one at a traditional classroom setting? | |
| Online courses use the same curriculum and learning outcomes as the courses taught in school. They are designed to take advantage of the online format. Most class work may be done from home. Students who are most successful with online courses have good time management skills and are self-motivated. | |
| Will I get a grade and course credit? | |
| The same grading and credit policies apply to an online course as to courses offered in school. | |
| Who will be teaching the class? | |
| All classes are taught by highly qualified teachers who have been trained to teach in an online environment. | |
| What if I need help with course content? | |
| Instructors will have "office hours" when they can be reached by phone or online. | |
| What is the cost for an online course? | |
The tuition for an online course is $300 per half credit (subject to change each year) for MCPS Health and Foundations of Technology online courses. MVS courses cost $350 per half credit. Tuition assistance is available, based upon financial need. Contact our office for more information. |
|
| How do I enroll in an online course? | |
