Blended Learning

Blended learning uses digital learning tools within a classroom setting where students are face-to-face with each other and their teacher. Blended Learning can use just a few digital tools or it may use a wide array of tools, courses and resources. These digital learning tools are part of the provincial Learning Management System.

Unlike e-learning classes where students are not in a traditional classroom with their teacher and classmates, blended learning occurs within the context of a face-to-face classroom.

Blended learning allows K-12 students to:

  • Access high-quality course materials, class calendars, and assignments during and outside school hours
  • Take part in face-to-face lessons and communicate with their teacher and classmates using a suite of secure online tools inside the password-protected Learning Management System.

Online Courses

E-learning Credit Courses are courses taught by e-learning teachers using the provincial Learning Management System (LMS).

E-learning courses can be offered for students who cannot be in the physical classroom to learn. For example, a desired course may not offered at their school, or they cannot take a course because of a scheduling conflict.

E-learning credit courses allow for a variety of online classroom configurations. Students from different locations may enrol in one e-learning course. Students from one location can enrol in one course but access it during different periods of the day.

E-learning credit courses allow secondary school students to:

  • Select from a wide range of subjects, in Catholic and public versions
  • Benefit from applied, college, university/college, university, workplace, and open course types
  • Reduce time table conflicts.
