All DSL Academy courses are offered completely online*. No additional software is needed and any computer can access the coursework. All your student needs is a login name and password!
After a student enrolls in a course, he/she will receive a login and password from the administrator. Additional instructions will be given to each student and parent/guardian about how to use the course tools. The administrator or parent, depending upon the level of support selected, will post assignments and daily grade a student's work. The teacher can communicate with the students and vice versa via an internal messaging system. Student's time on task and progress can be monitored closely and the grading is done by a person so partial credit can be given or the assignment can be labeled "redo" for a second effort!
The demo sites are a great way to familiarize yourself with the format of the courses.
*Second grade does come with a manipulatives kit.
