| Distance Learning and Dual Enrollment |
Dual Enrollment, or concurrent enrollment, allows students to earn college credit while still in high school. Students enroll in college courses that may be delivered either face to face, on-line or through videoconferencing at the high school or on the college campus. These courses provide the same rigor and expect the same level of performance as any college course. Students who participate in either Dual Enrollment or Distance Learning Courses must be independent, responsible, self-motivated learners. These options allow students to take courses that may otherwise be unavailable to the high school student.
Distance Learning occurs when distance, time, or both separate the student and the teacher or remote site. Distance learning opportunities may use video, audio, computers, multimedia communications, or any combination of these. Distance Learning opportunities include:

| Distance Learning Courses - Students may earn High School or College credit for courses taken on-line or through scheduled videoconferencing or on-line. Distance Learning Courses are not for everyone. The only difference between a distance learning course and a traditional course is how it is delivered. The quality of the curriculum remains the same. Virtual Field Trips - Students visit remote sites without leaving their classroom or home. Some include real-live interactive experiences while others may be asynchronous (not live).

| Web Quests and other web sites- On-line learning can occur through visiting various web sites. Web Quests are organized lessons that direct the learner through a series of web sites and on-line activities. |
