Content Creation & Curation: Districts Can Easily Create Online Courses
Spokane
Public Schools has been developing quality online courses for over
eight years and has used these courses in various ways to improve the
district's on-time graduation rate. The school district will share its
systematic approach for building rigorous, standard-aligned online
coursework that can be used across the district. By developing your own
online courses using your own learning management system, school
districts have the flexibility to support virtual, blended, credit
retrieval and student support programs cost effectively using the same
online content.
