Student elearning Online Courses The Student elearning program provides students with opportunities to obtain high school credit through internetbased courses. These courses are taught by highly qualified MCPS teachers who conduct classes, give assignments, answer questions, lead discussions, enter grades, and communicate course content and student progress to parents. The teachers are dedicated to providing a successful online experience for each student. Every MCPS online course requires a number of face-to-face sessions which students must attend in order to receive credit in the course. Students who are highly motivated, have good time-management skills, and can work independently usually experience the most success in an online course. During summer courses, the same curriculum taught in a semester course is compacted within a 3-week period. Students should expect to spend 4 5 hours per day completing course assignments. Comprehensive Health Education, Foundations of Technology, and approved AP courses are being offered this summer. For more information on elearning or to register for a course, see the elearning website at www.montgomeryschoolsmd. org/departments/onlinelearning. You also may direct your questions to Gregory A. Abbott, Online Course Registrar, at Gregory_A_Abbott@mcpsmd.org or by calling 301-279-3466. 2012 Regional High School Summer School Program 9
