Structured Flexibility in Learning
InformNet’s asynchronous courses let students learn on their own schedule, with the structure and support to finish by semester’s end.
- 30% by mid-course
- 50% by second benchmark date
- Students not meeting these may be removed from the course
Asynchronous Learning at InformNet
Asynchronous learning allows students to access course materials, complete assignments, and take tests on their own schedule, rather than following a fixed timetable. This model is ideal for students who need flexibility due to other commitments or who prefer to learn at their own pace.
Self-Paced Learning
Benefits
-
Flexibility
Students can work through the Brightspace learning modules at their own pace, allowing them to spend more time on challenging topics and move quickly through areas they find easier.
-
Independence
This approach encourages students to take responsibility for their learning, developing time management and self-discipline skills.
How InformNet Keeps Students on Track
Even in a flexible, asynchronous environment, students benefit from structure. Here’s how we help them stay on pace and succeed.
Assignment Due Dates
To ensure students complete their courses within the semester, InformNet sets due dates for assignments and tests:
Assignment Deadlines
Each course has specific due dates for assignments to help students stay on track. These deadlines are clearly communicated at the beginning of the course.
Test Schedules
Tests also have set dates to ensure students are progressing through the material in a timely manner.
Zero Placeholders in Gradebooks
Accountability
If a student misses an assignment deadline, a zero placeholder is entered in the teacher’s gradebook. This serves as a reminder for the student to submit the work as soon as possible.
Grade Impact
The zero placeholder affects the student’s grade until the assignment is submitted and graded. This system helps motivate students to keep up with their coursework and avoid falling behind.
Monthly Progress Reports
Regular Updates
InformNet provides monthly progress reports to keep students and parents informed about the student’s performance and progress.
Detailed Feedback
These reports include information on completed assignments, grades, and any missing work. They also highlight areas where the student may need additional support or improvement.
Parental Involvement
Parents are encouraged to review these reports and discuss them with their child to ensure they are on track and addressing any challenges promptly.
By combining the flexibility of asynchronous learning with structured due dates and regular progress reports, InformNet ensures that students can learn at their own pace while staying accountable and on track to complete their courses successfully.
