To follow-up 2011’s successful series of research-based webinars, the New England and New York Comprehensive Centers are pleased to announce the start of our next series focusing on online learning.
Part 1: What resources and elements constitute a quality online or blended course?
February 28th from 3-4PM
Having agreed-upon standards of quality for online courses enables organizations to evaluate course quality and implement best practices for students and teachers. This webinar will feature expert online course developers who, using the National Standards of Quality for Online Courses developed by the International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL) and the EdTech Leaders Online (ETLO) Recommended Criteria for Quality Online Courses as reference points, will show examples of quality learning objects and pedagogical strategies that work together to create effective online and/or blended courses.

Part 4: Parent Engagement in Online Courses
May 22nd from 3-4PM
Researchers have found that students, from all family income levels, with involved parents are more likely to be successful in school and be college and career ready upon graduation from high school. In online learning parental involvement is just as important as it is for in-class learning, as children and teens are still developing mentally and emotionally. And some of the skills these children are developing are critical to achieving academic success in online learning. Join us for a presentation on the role of parents in online learning and a discussion on how parents can help online teachers and mentors by staying fully engaged in the learning experience; promoting good study habits and attitudes by modeling them; and providing structure for students at home.
