The Online Learning Community

The Online Learning Community (OLC) is highly successful community of New Zealand Secondary Schools, from across New Zealand, who reciprocate to provide quality teaching and learning opportunities for their students in the an online environment.

 

Affiliated schools can offer their students a wide range of curriculum areas, courses and subjects, all based on the New Zealand Curriulum and NCEA qualifications.

 

The OLC belongs to a larger New Zealand online learning community - the Virtual Learning Network (VLN) - which gives schools access to over 100 courses, enabling them to more successfully meet the learning needs of their students.

Anywhere Anytime

 

A personal digital device (with inbuilt camera and microphone) and reliable internet access, are the only technical requirements. Students connect to their online, face-to-face lesson with their e-teacher, using ZOOM, a free, internet accessible application. Once downloaded on their device, students connect to their online lesson at the specified day and time, using the unique ZOOM meeting link or ID number.

 

Weekly lessons are also recorded by the e-teacher and shared with the class, so that students can review the lesson at any time. If a student misses a particular lesson, they can view the recording at any time and carry out the necessary coursework throughout the week.

STUDENT Feedback

"Learning online helped me grow more confident, as it pushed me out of my comfort zone so that I had to speak up more.  I was able to work independently and in a quiet environment, which I preferred."

"My teacher made sure we all understood what we were doing, and  made video recordings of his lessons to help us remember important tasks and assignments.  He always responded quickly to my questions via email, which helped me move forward with my learning."

"Learning online was not a barrier for me. I developed some important skills in managing myself to meet deadlines. I am proud that I passed all of my assessments and exams in my online subject."
