Cyber school finds growing demand: Online education offers flexibility - Julie Saccone, Saskatoon StarPhoenix
In a small room lined with computers and nestled in Holy Cross High School, a group of teachers tap away at their keyboards, responding to queries from the more than 1,400 students enrolled in the Saskatoon Catholic school division's cyber school. The school, which hosted an open house Tuesday, has seen an exponential boost in student enrolment and an expansion of its operations since it began in 2000. Cyber school teachers spend an hour each day responding to questions that in an average semester arrive in the form of 1,800 e-mails and 2,800 bulletin board messages for each class of 30 students.
