Education has expanded from teaching academic curriculum in traditional methods to include learning and engaging in virtual environments, incorporating digital collaboration, and global connectivity to maximize content learning. Other forms of eLearning implementation within the district include credit recovery virtual labs, alternative education programs, and hybrid (blended) high school courses which have all contributed to an increasing graduation rate while also providing more options for our students.

Once again, students in the Madison Consolidated Schools district have the option to participate in six scheduled eLearning days. eLearning was implemented within our district during the 2013 - 2014 school year and remains a focal point as part of our Strategic Framework addressing elements of our student performance and global preparedness initiatives. As students begin school, as early as preschool and through graduation, they are exposed to and become comfortable with many forms of technology and the overall digital environment. What may begin as gameplay quickly turns to educational tools and resource location, online job applications, and later collaborative work teams. eLearning creates self-discipline within the student from an early age to better prepare them to manage their time and course load effectively. It also creates an exciting, self-directed learning path for students and allows teachers to participate in professional development in order to bring new techniques and experiences to their students.

On scheduled eLearning days, junior high and high school students utilize technology via the internet and the school’s learning management system, to complete assigned work. Online lessons are interactive and are designed to address the Indiana Academic Standards which guide curriculum. Teachers are available to students, through various platforms, to answer any questions or actively collaborate on assignments as needs arise.

Each student within our district has a device they use on a daily basis in their classroom. Student technology devices range from iPads in K-2nd grade and  Chromebooks in 3rd-12th grade. In the event a student does not have internet access at home or access to public wifi, all school buildings will be open with supervised study areas on scheduled eLearning days. Regular transportation is provided and meals are served on each of the scheduled eLearning days.

If trends continue, by the class of 2020, nearly all students could be required by the state to take at least part of their higher education/career coursework in an online environment. Our MCS mission is to educate all students to reach their potential, and student learning is the foremost thought in our minds as we try to prepare our students for a global marketplace. It is our goal that eLearning days will provide our students with an online experience that will be foundational to future growth and success.

What are Elementary in school practice eLearning Days?
Madison Consolidated Schools is committed to preparing all students and families for eLearning days and this begins at the elementary level.  Each student, beginning in Kindergarten, is issued a device which is integrated into daily learning within our classrooms.  Students are taught how to access necessary apps, locations, lessons, as well as, do necessary work to complete assignments digitally.

Teachers will work with students early in the school year to ensure each student is ready for eLearning days, should there be an opportunity for elementary students to participate in a scheduled district-wide eLearning day.  As an example, several of our buildings are used as polling locations on Election Day, so we have a scheduled eLearning Day for all students.  Madison Consolidated Schools is approved to utilize eLearning days in the event of inclement weather and the implementation, frequency, and timing of those dates are based on recommendations from a Guiding Coalition made up of teachers, parents, and administrators based on best practices.

What are Secondary eLearning Days?
Madison Consolidated Schools Secondary eLearning Days offer full access to online secondary (6th-12th) school instruction provided by students’ individual teachers. Teachers will create lessons in Google Classroom, the school’s learning management system. These lessons will be interactive and relate to the Indiana State Standards for the specific class. Five eLearning days will occur throughout the school year, and students will have access to teachers via the Internet. If students do not have Internet at home, they may attend either a study hall hosted by the school where wifi is accessible or one of the open computer labs, the public library, go to a friends home, or one of the numerous local businesses offering free wi-fi. 

According to educational research, there were an estimated 1.8 million K-12th grade students that enrolled in online or distance-education courses in 2009-2010 (February 2013 Fast Facts, http://iNACOL.org) and that trend is exponentially growing.   We now have 27 states with state virtual schools and 31 states, and Washington, DC, have statewide full-time online schools. (Keeping Pace with K-12 Online & Blended Learning: An Annual Review of Policy and Practice. http://kpk12.com/reports/.)  There is a consensus that effective online programs have the ability to improve student learning and achievement.  Virtual and blended learning models (a mix of online and brick-and-mortar classrooms) can provide individualized instruction, that focuses on mastery, as well as additional opportunities and course offerings to students.  There are currently 5 states that have passed into law an online learning requirement for core diplomas.  Numerous others, including Indiana, are attempting to pass similar legislation.  

Nearly all institutions have a major interest in eLearning.  Over 80% of higher education institutions offer at least several courses online and more than half offer a significant number of courses online. (The state of E-Learning in Higher Education: An Eye Toward Growth and Increased Access, http://www.educause.edu)  The proportion of college and career-ready students that take at least one online course has increased steadily over the last decade.  The 2012 Survey of Online Learning reveals that the number of students taking at least one online course has now surpassed 6.7 million with 32% of current college students taking at least one course online.  

At Madison Consolidated Schools, we have been exploring online education in varying degrees with tremendous success.  Credit recovery virtual labs, alternative education programs, and hybrid (blended) high school courses have all contributed to an increasing graduation rate and are providing more options for our students.  If trends continue, by the class of 2017 nearly all students will be required to take at least part of their higher education/career coursework in an online environment.  Our MCS mission is to educate all students to reach their potential, and student learning is the foremost thought in our minds as we try to prepare our students for a new global marketplace.  It is our hope that the eLearning Days will provide our students with an online experience that will be foundational to future growth and success.
