How do online students socialize with other students?
A. Online students typically take one or two courses, which blends their learning opportunities with traditional classroom instruction. Full time virtual school students often engage actively with their peers both online and in their communities. Many assignments are project based and require the student to interview community members and report about their observations. In the on-line environment, the Academy uses a web-based course management system that enables students to easily communicate with each other and/or their instructors. All parties can upload and share materials (text, graphics, audio, or video), hold online discussions and chats, give quizzes and surveys, and gather and review assignments. This is an invaluable experience, which prepares students to adapt to a future academic or career environment in an expanding digital world.
