Distributed Learning

Administrative Procedure: 230

DISTRIBUTED LEARNING

Background
The BC School Act provides a variety of options for school-aged and adult learners. For various reasons, students may choose to receive an educational program that includes taking courses on-line through the Delta Access program. In addition, parents may choose to enroll their child in the District’s K-7 Distributed Learning School (Home Quest) where a teacher-developed learning plan is established and a signed commitment from the parent is required.

Procedures
1. Parents wishing to enroll their child in the District’s Home Quest program must first meet with the District Home Quest Coordinator to establish suitability of the program with student needs. A Student Learning Plan is then established.
2. School-aged students wishing to enroll in an on-line course must have parent, counselor and/or Principal approval to ensure that the program supports the student’s learning plan.
3. Adult learners wishing to enroll in on-line courses must meet with the Delta Access Coordinator to discuss the student’s learning plan and to complete a course enrolment form (Form 230-1).
4. Consistent with the Ministry of Education’s Distributed Learning Policy and Adult Education Policies, all Distributed Learning courses are supplied free of charge for British Columbia residents.
