Distance and Online Learning

Distance Learning service provides coordination and technical support that enables schools to offer courses they otherwise would not be able to offer.  The service utilizes a state-of-the-art interactive telecommunications system to teach courses simultaneously in several different high school buildings at once.  Currently, there are 46 districts teaching over 100 course sections over the network.  Locally, the following school districts participate in the Distance Learning service.  Averill Park, Berlin, Cairo-Durham, Catskill, Coxsackie-Athens, East Greenbush, Hoosic Valley, Schodack, Taconic Hills, and Troy.  For news regarding the service, as well as current course offerings and shared course planning, go to http://dl.neric.org/neric_dl_vc/news.htm

Online Learning provides an option to school districts as they face increased requirements, limited resources, shortage of personnel and scheduling conflicts.  Online Learning takes place using the internet and is personalized and highly flexible.  Questar III currently works with 5 different vendors providing course options to schools for credit accrual and credit recovery.
