How are Iowa Learning Online courses conducted?
Each high school credit course has a fully licensed instructor who is responsible for teaching, assignments, homework, and assuring all coursework is completed. The instructor is located at a remote site and his or her teaching is distributed via the Iowa Communications Network video classrooms, via the Internet, or via similar telecommunications modes. Students will generally “attend” the class either in a computer lab or at an Iowa Communications Network video classroom in their home district or school. Some students are required to also participate in periodic labs at regional locations if the course (such as a science class) calls for it. All students registered in an ILO class need to be supervised by local school employees, called student coaches.
