How are InForm Net Students Evaluated?

 

InForm Net provides options and opportunities for learners in many situations:

• Students registered in high schools that may not be able to provide core, complimentary or optional courses for a variety of reasons. (e.g. staffing, scheduling and enrollment)
• Students who are currently on a home school program. (e.g. health issues and schools of choice decisions)
• Mature and adult students in a variety of situations. (e.g. those enrolled in adult learning centres, part time students and those desiring upgrading or additional courses for continuing education purposes)
• Students whose life and career goals frequently require extended periods of time away from their designated school. (e.g. those students who are involved in the performing arts and elite athletics)
• Students whose family circumstances necessitate extended periods of travel or relocation. (e.g. missionary or humanitarian work, cultural exchanges and career or job related transfers) é

Any working environment includes a series of involved and shared responsibilities. Students, teachers, parents and administrators all have specified roles within the online learning community.

The Role of the Parent:

• Provide the appropriate hardware and software. (e.g. Internet access, a Pentium processor with a minimum of 100mhz, 32 megs of RAM, a 28.8 modem, and a CD-ROM)
• InForm Net teachers provide the opportunity to assist the student in his or her assignments.
• Parents supervise their students at home and may review assignments with them.
