D2L In-Services for Teachers
Using the vLe to support differentiated instruction K-12
What is it?
e-Learning and Blended Learning options and online tools.
Blended learning uses digital learning tools within a classroom setting where students are face-to-face with each other and their teacher. Blended Learning can use just a few digital tools or it may use a wide array of tools, courses and resources. These digital learning tools are part of the provincial Learning Management System.
Blended learning allows K-12 students to:
- Access high-quality course materials, class calendars, and assignments during and outside school hours
- Take part in face-to-face lessons and communicate with their teacher and classmates using a suite of secure online tools inside the password-protected Learning Management System.
