Page 85 - Ontario Schools: Kindergarten to Grade 12

School boards that participate in the e-Learning Ontario strategy retain full responsibility for the delivery of courses and resources at the local level. They determine the degree of access they provide to their teachers and students, and they are responsible for issuing user identifications and passwords. To be eligible for access to the e-Learning Ontario strategy, students must be registered in a provincially funded school.
Permission to take e-learning courses must be given by a student’s home school, and students must apply and enrol through their home school. Students remain a student of their home school even if the course is delivered by a teacher in another school. The schedule for reporting marks will be that of the school delivering the e-learning course.
Policies governing participation in the e-Learning Ontario strategy, including the Provincial Learning Management System and the Ontario Educational Resource Bank, are posted on the ministry’s website.

10.2 Continuing Education
Continuing education supports learners of all ages by offering credit and non-credit learning opportunities outside the regular day school program, and during the summer. These include:
✦✦ credit courses for adolescent and adult learners;
✦✦ international language programs for elementary school students
(see section 2.5.3);
✦✦ remedial opportunities for students in Grades 7 to 10 to improve their
literacy and mathematics skills;
✦✦ general-interest community programs and workshops for parents;
✦✦ literacy upgrading programs for adults offered by the Ministry of
Training, Colleges and Universities;
✦✦ English as a second language / French as a second language programs
for adults offered by the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration.
A statement of the student’s achievement in all credit courses delivered through continuing education will be issued to the student by the principal of the continuing education school. The student’s achievement will also be reported to the principal of the school that holds the student’s Ontario Student Record for recording on the Ontario Student Transcript (see section 4.1.2).
