1 The North Vancouver Distributed Learning School (NVDLS) provides students with an alternate pathway to complete many of their academic and elective courses at the Grade 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 levels. Benefits of online learning include: a personalized pathway to meet diverse learning needs the potential to enrol in additional electives at school while taking other courses online flexibility through self-paced, anytime, anywhere learning complements extra-curricular and work schedules develops and utilizes 21 st century skills through interactive technology prepares students for online course delivery options in post-secondary institutions All courses meet the Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines, are taught by BC Certified teachers, and support the graduation program. Students may choose to work entirely online and communicate with teachers/peers using a variety of interactive and engaging online tools. Or, they may choose the blended model, which combines online learning with some scheduled, in-person activities. It is our intention to provide students with the best online course experience anywhere. For more information about the vision for Distributed Learning in North Vancouver, please see our School Plan, available on the website. WHAT ARE ONLINE COURSES? Online courses in North Vancouver are regular high school graduation courses that allow students a different method to complete the course. Students must have access to a computer and the Internet. This allows students to work from any location they choose, at the pace they choose and at the time of day they choose. It is important to remember that while there is a great deal of independence expected of students there is always a teacher available to assist the student. Teachers provide: a structure to the course learning opportunities direction as students proceed through the course assistance (via , chat, online tools, face-to-face) assessment (assignments, quizzes, tests...)

2 WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL ONLINE STUDENT? Before deciding whether online learning will fit your educational needs and personal circumstances, students and parents need to be aware of: who is likely to succeed with online learning whether you have some of the characteristics to be a successful online student the expectations of the parent or guardian as facilitator in their child s education Successful online students are: self-motivated independent learners computer literate are able to organize their time and tasks have effective written communication skills are personally committed to this type of learning environment PARENTS NEED TO: help their child with the necessary technology assist in setting up a daily routine and organization of assignments monitor progress encourage students to ask questions of their instructors when they are having difficulty encourage students to utilize the supports offered at the DL Centre DL CENTRE BLENDED MODEL: All students enrolling in the North Vancouver Distributed Learning School have access to a Distributed Learning (DL) Centre where they may participate in face-to-face tutorials, work in the DL computer lab, interact with their teacher, and complete supervised tests and exams. The main DL Centre is located at Mountainside Secondary School and is open during the day and after school most evenings until 6:00 pm. Satellite DL Centres are also located at Argyle, Carson, Handsworth, Seycove, Sutherland, and Windsor secondary schools. Please check the website for DL Centre hours at each location. MOODLE: THE ONLINE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT: The North Vancouver Distributed Learning School is housed in an online learning management system (LMS) called Moodle. Moodle is an open source LMS that is used by many online schools at both the secondary and post-secondary level. Students will access the Moodle site through a website link and access their personal course(s) via a confidential password and login. The site contains all of the course materials which can include texts, videos, flash animation, voice threads, forums, a peer and teacher messaging system and links to the DL teachers, Academic Advisor and Administrator. Teachers are live in the site frequently, and will post their online availability in their courses. Teachers also set up virtual classrooms and invite students to participate in both formal and informal classes.

3 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS BY GRADE: All courses offered through the North Vancouver Distributed Learning School utilize a wide variety of technology tools. E-texts, video, audio, interactive forums and a variety of online tools support student learning and provide an interactive and engaging environment. GRADE 8 COURSE OFFERINGS: English 8 The English 8 course allows students to explore different types of written work in order to begin thinking about context. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of texts (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, novels) and will have opportunities to understand the purpose behind literary works. They will also develop the ability to express their opinions and interpretation of texts in a variety of forms. A focus on reading comprehension, writing styles and techniques, and revising and editing will be key components of the course. Math 8 Math 8 builds upon skills developed in previous grades. Topics in Mathematics 8 are organized into 4 components: Number, Patterns and Relations, Shape and Space, and Statistics and Probability. Content within this course stems from a problem-solving approach with real-world applications leading to an understanding of the nature of mathematics through specific knowledge, skills and attitudes among and between the four components. This course requires students to communicate, demonstrate and evaluate their understanding in a variety of ways, including concretely, pictorially and symbolically. Science 8 The Science 8 curriculum is divided into the following categories: Applications of Science, Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science. Students will have opportunities to understand the effect that science has on our daily lives and use observation, problem solving and experimentation to investigate the impact of science on humans and our surroundings. Social Studies 8 The Socials Studies 8 course is an in-depth look at natural and social environments and the ways humans interact in these environments.
