Virtual Schools
Blackboard provides a comprehensive, integrated platform for widespread use and distribution of virtual classes.
Problem: Create the Community of a School Online
A virtual school is much more than a collection of online classes. Even though teachers and students attend class online instead of in person, the comprehensive system of a school is still needed to support them. Students need to feel accountable and responsible for their academic success. Teachers require support and opportunities for their own learning and sharing. Administrators face the challenge of managing a school without face-to-face interactions.
Solution: Proven Platform for Learning and Community
A proven, scalable platform provides a robust system to represent a brick and mortar school with the flexibility and choice of a virtual school. When choosing to go online for their learning, students look for a rich course catalogue, easy enrollment, interactivity, and multimedia resource options. Virtual school instructors require easy course creation, a space for formal professional development as well as opportunities for informal sharing and learning from each other. To support the administrative side, the learning platform should be able to integrate with student information systems and offer role-based groups to manage and customize delivery more effectively.
