Board Hears About Virtual Online Learning - TOM EMBREY, the Pilot (North Carolina)
Principals for the four Moore County high schools gave members of the Board of Education a glimpse at the future of learning Monday night. The quartet offered a presentation on virtual school, a program in which students can take classes online. Through the program students have a broader range of class selections, and are able to work with students from across the state and the country. "It (distance learning program) speaks to the direction the high schools are heading," said Robin Lea, principal of Union Pines High School. The program is overseen by a distance learning adviser, who meets with students, registers students, reports student progress to parents, orders textbooks, works with online teachers, performs evaluations, and reports grades. Pinecrest Principal Joel County said the program gives students an online means of communication through workspaces and blogs.
