BOCES Distance Learning Program - Quality - Access - Support
Coordination and Support from - neric - the Northeastern Regional Information Center
 


The New Fall Schedule Grid is available. 43 districts are connecting
to classes on the Distance Learning Network. 84 courses are being
offered this fall, delivering expanded opportunities to districts and
the students they serve throughout our region.
  In addition to a broad range of Distance Learning course
offerings that include more than 11 Advance Placement
sections, there are a number of new courses this year.

New this year: Nanotechnology, Hospitality Management,
Digital Photography, Exploring Humanity Through Film, Science in the Headlines, The Bible as Literature, The Evolution of Warfare and Wiki to Waki - Learning the WWW.
This fall we also welcome three new districts to the Regional Distance Learning Network: Catskill, Hoosic Valley and Minerva. (See below.)
 
Distance Learning is a cooperative endeavor of 6 BOCES and 43 districts in 12 counties of northeastern New York State. It serves more than 1,000 students.

Catskill, Hoosic Valley and Minerva have joined the Distance Learning Network and are now participating in classes with other schools throughout our region.

See: Larger DL Network Map


The three new Distance Learning rooms, as is the case with all DL rooms in the Regional Distance Learning Network, will have the capacity to connect interactively with as many as three remote schools simultaneously.

Change the photos to the left to see how other districts have adapted Distance Learning technology to meet their particular needs.





Professional Development programs offered via the Distance Learning Network offer expanded opportunities as well as convenience and savings. The need to travel between districts or regions can often be eliminated. Participating in a training, seminar or workshop that is being hosted in another part of the state can become much easier using DL.

Model Schools Workshops, National Board Certification Awareness Programs, and Bus Driver Training are just some of the many types of professional development that can be offered via DL.

By using its partnership in instructional technology with schools in northeastern New York, WSWHE BOCES is able to provide a more convenient and cost saving way for transportation staff to attend training programs and fulfill their state requirements. For more information
see: Additional Bus Driver Training Information


A DL Flier designed to provide information about distance learning to students is now available in addition to a DL Program Poster.

The fliers are custom made for each school on the network, can be downloaded (as either Microsoft Word documents or Adobe .pdf files) and easily printed.

The poster is in the form of a .jpg image, also easily downloaded and printed.
