[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_school Wikipedia] defines a ''virtual school'' as

<blockquote>an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods.</blockquote>

We impose the further restriction that the courses are similar (in purpose and outcome) to those normally taken by school-age children - but there may be a few students in the virtual school who are beyond school leaving age.

See [[:Category:Virtual schools 2023]]

==== List in Progress (early days) ====

In the past lists of schools were added to separate pages along with individual school pages. It remains our long-term aim to update all the old list (of over 500 virtual schools).

Howvever, as many users will obtain the information they require directly from a schools' website, a collapsible list is provided below of current, operational virtual schools with key information: country, institution and UR. This also ''reduces'' the number of clicks to locate information.

Remember if you become an editor on this wiki, you can edit this page and the information listed. We welcome edits to the list and further columns you feel would be most useful.

== Legacy Lists ==

=== 2020 List of virtual schools ===

The list curated for 2020 can be located here: [[:Category:2020_Virtual_schools]]

=== 2011 List of virtual schools ===

Our global list created in 2011 is at [[:Category:Virtual schools]] - it is known not to have full coverage of US.

We also categorise virtual schools by major continental region

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Asia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australasia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Europe]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Latin America]]

Because of the large number of virtual schools in North America, they are categorised by US and Canada.

Soon it is expected that we will have:

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Caribbean]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Pacific and Indian ocean islands]]

For those countries where a lot of virtual schools are expected we also categorise by country. So far the list is:
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Brazil]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in Canada]]'''
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in New Zealand]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in South Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Turkey]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in the US]]'''

Some of these country categories seem too detailed, eg Turkey and South Africa. Others may be needed soon, e.g. for UK, Sweden and Finland.

Note that '''Ceased virtual schools''' (those that no longer exist) have their own category - [[:Category:Ceased virtual schools]]

Charters Towers School of Distance Education

2023-06-07T09:18:19Z

Charlotte Doody: Updated Charters Towers School of Distance Education URL

The ''Charters Towers School of Distance Education'' is a Queensland state [[virtual school]] in Charters Towers, Queensland, [[Australia]] offering distance education for geographically isolated students through all year levels (including those over 18 years old).

Charters Towers School of Distance Education was established in 1987 as Charters Towers [[School of the Air]].

The total enrolment in 2010 was 276 students, including 137 girls and 139 boys.

The school offers a range of comprehensive programs from Preparatory year through to senior schooling in Year 12 and Vocational Education and Training (VET).

Its website is [https://charterstowerssde.eq.edu.au/ https://chartowesde.eq.edu.au/Pages/default.aspx]

==More Details==

The school uses traditional means of communication like email and telephone as well as audio-teleconferencing, video, and the Internet to cross the barriers of distance through for instance forums, blogs, wikis, and virtual learning environments ([[Blackboard]]), website repositories, and CD/DVD ROM.

Students can enrol free of charge if they meet state criteria for any of geographical isolation, medical conditions, exclusion, caring responsibilities, itinerant lifestyle or some other undefined circumstances.

Mini-schools and conferences are held in the middle and secondary years and are generally for a week at a time.

Class size is 10.5 in Prep school to Year 3 and 14.5 from Year 4 to Year 10.

!Fixed issue whereby calculation of "initiatives per million population" was not being done due to syntax changes. Lists of [[OECD]], [[ASEAN]] and [[CARICOM]] countries now updated - see new association-wide maps utilising this, such as [[OECD/OER]] and [[ASEAN/OER]]. And now [[Commonwealth/OER]].

Welcome to the Virtual Education Wiki, devoted to virtual learning in education at all levels (schools, colleges and universities) including informal learning, '''open learning''' (OER) and distance learning. It is also known as the Open Education Wiki.

As this is a wiki, you can edit it as part of the [[Special:ListUsers|Virtual Education Wiki Community]]. Prior to contributing, you may find it useful to view our [[Help:Index|help pages]] and '''note that anything you change may be amended or deleted by other wiki users.'''

The idea in 2008 behind the original wiki was to create an open and public space where researchers could share information about virtual developments in various different educational sectors. It was supported and maintained during 2009-15 by a community of researchers from EU and beyond and was aimed at stakeholders, researchers and practitioners who wanted to have easy access to the latest information about how the virtual phenomenon is manifesting itself in schools, colleges and universities around the world. You will therefore find much of this legacy information in the wiki. The wiki is now being updated in all its aspects, focussing initially on OER initiatives, OER policies and virtual schools.

'''This week there is a big push on virtual schools, getting more coordinates and adding infoboxes to entries so that they can be dynamically mapped.'''

{| class="wikitable"
!We are also looking for collaborators to load large amounts of other legacy material on OER.
See in particular our samples of material from the former [[OER World Map]].

=== 2023 List of virtual schools ===

==== Category in Progress (very early days) ====

See [[:Category:Virtual schools 2023]]

==== List in Progress (early days) ====

In the past lists of schools were added to separate pages along with individual school pages. It remains our long-term aim to update all the old list (of over 500 virtual schools).

Howvever, as many users will obtain the information they require directly from a schools' website, a collapsible list is provided below of current, operational virtual schools with key information: country, institution and UR. This also ''reduces'' the number of clicks to locate information.

Remember if you become an editor on this wiki, you can edit this page and the information listed. We welcome edits to the list and further columns you feel would be most useful.

== Legacy Lists ==

=== 2020 List of virtual schools ===

The list curated for 2020 can be located here: [[:Category:2020_Virtual_schools]]

=== 2011 List of virtual schools ===

Our global list created in 2011 is at [[:Category:Virtual schools]] - it is known not to have full coverage of US.

We also categorise virtual schools by major continental region

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Asia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australasia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Europe]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Latin America]]

Because of the large number of virtual schools in North America, they are categorised by US and Canada.

Soon it is expected that we will have:

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Caribbean]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Pacific and Indian ocean islands]]

For those countries where a lot of virtual schools are expected we also categorise by country. So far the list is:
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Brazil]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in Canada]]'''
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in New Zealand]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in South Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Turkey]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in the US]]'''

Some of these country categories seem too detailed, eg Turkey and South Africa. Others may be needed soon, e.g. for UK, Sweden and Finland.

Note that '''Ceased virtual schools''' (those that no longer exist) have their own category - [[:Category:Ceased virtual schools]]

Charlotte Doody: Further checked schools added

'''(Legacy school pages currently being reviewed, see below for up to date list in progress) In a hurry? See [[:Category:Virtual_schools]]'''

----

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_school Wikipedia] defines a ''virtual school'' as

<blockquote>an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods.</blockquote>

We impose the further restriction that the courses are similar (in purpose and outcome) to those normally taken by school-age children - but there may be a few students in the virtual school who are beyond school leaving age.

== Lists of virtual schools ==

See categories at the bottom of the page for quick links to relevant initiatives.

== Legacy Lists ==

=== 2020 List of virtual schools ===

The list curated for 2020 can be located here: [[:Category:2020_Virtual_schools]]

=== 2011 List of virtual schools ===

Our global list created in 2011 is at [[:Category:Virtual schools]] - it is known not to have full coverage of US.

We also categorise virtual schools by major continental region

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Asia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australasia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Europe]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Latin America]]

Because of the large number of virtual schools in North America, they are categorised by US and Canada.

Soon it is expected that we will have:

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Caribbean]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Pacific and Indian ocean islands]]

For those countries where a lot of virtual schools are expected we also categorise by country. So far the list is:
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Brazil]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in Canada]]'''
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in New Zealand]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in South Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Turkey]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in the US]]'''

Some of these country categories seem too detailed, eg Turkey and South Africa. Others may be needed soon, e.g. for UK, Sweden and Finland.

Note that '''Ceased virtual schools''' (those that no longer exist) have their own category - [[:Category:Ceased virtual schools]]

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_school Wikipedia] defines a ''virtual school'' as

<blockquote>an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods.</blockquote>

We impose the further restriction that the courses are similar (in purpose and outcome) to those normally taken by school-age children - but there may be a few students in the virtual school who are beyond school leaving age.

=== 2023 List of virtual schools ===

==== Category in Progress (very early days) ====

See [[:Category:Virtual schools 2023]]

==== List in Progress (early days) ====

In the past lists of schools were added to separate pages along with individual school pages. It remains our long-term aim to update all the old list (of over 500 virtual schools).

Howvever, as many users will obtain the information they require directly from a schools' website, a collapsible list is provided below of current, operational virtual schools with key information: country, institution and UR. This also ''reduces'' the number of clicks to locate information.

Remember if you become an editor on this wiki, you can edit this page and the information listed. We welcome edits to the list and further columns you feel would be most useful.

== Legacy Lists ==

=== 2020 List of virtual schools ===

The list curated for 2020 can be located here: [[:Category:2020_Virtual_schools]]

=== 2011 List of virtual schools ===

Our global list created in 2011 is at [[:Category:Virtual schools]] - it is known not to have full coverage of US.

We also categorise virtual schools by major continental region

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Asia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australasia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Europe]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Latin America]]

Because of the large number of virtual schools in North America, they are categorised by US and Canada.

Soon it is expected that we will have:

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Caribbean]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Pacific and Indian ocean islands]]

For those countries where a lot of virtual schools are expected we also categorise by country. So far the list is:
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Australia]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Brazil]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in Canada]]'''
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in New Zealand]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in South Africa]]
# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Turkey]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in the US]]'''

Some of these country categories seem too detailed, eg Turkey and South Africa. Others may be needed soon, e.g. for UK, Sweden and Finland.

Note that '''Ceased virtual schools''' (those that no longer exist) have their own category - [[:Category:Ceased virtual schools]]

Canon Online Academy

2023-05-09T11:16:52Z

Charlotte Doody: Updated Canon Online Academy (various, name no longer exists)

Cannon City Schools not longer appears to have a provision named Canon Online Academy, but online learning appears to still be available.

The ''Canon Online Academy'' is an online school located in the [[US]] state of [[Colorado]]. It is part of the the Cañon City School District.

New in 2011, its curriculum was provided by [[Aventa]] (no longer trading to our knowledge, last YouTube videos were posted 12 years ago as of 2023), which was owned by [[K12 Inc]] (a Stride company).

Learning is completed via Campus Portal https://fremontre1co.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/canoncity.jsp

The Canon Online Academy web site is at http://www.canoncityschools.org/education/components/layout/default.php?sectiondetailid=18659&&

California Pacific Charter Schools

2023-05-09T10:54:24Z

Charlotte Doody: Updated California Pacific Charter Schools - URL

The ''California Pacific Charter Schools'' ('''CalPac''') is new network of public online [[charter school]]s serving grades 6-12 throughout most of the [[US]] state of [[California]]. Note: CalPac was founded in 2011 and little information about it was available as of September of that year.

CalPac schooling is both synchronous and asynchronous. It can take place purely online, although if a number of assignments are missed, students are assessed and may be required to commence in-person classes.

The California Pacific Charter Schools web site is at [https://www.cal-pacs.org/ http://calpacschools.org/]

==More Details==
The curriculum is delivered through an online model that "balances... traditional and virtual classroom approaches".

Virtual school

2023-05-02T18:51:54Z

Charlotte Doody: Further checked schools added

'''(Legacy school pages currently being reviewed, see below for up to date list in progress) In a hurry? See [[:Category:Virtual_schools]]'''

To list all the virtual schools in a country or region click on [[Special:RunQuery/List Virtual Schools by country]]

----

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_school Wikipedia] defines a ''virtual school'' as

<blockquote>an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods.</blockquote>

We impose the further restriction that the courses are similar (in purpose and outcome) to those normally taken by school-age children - but there may be a few students in the virtual school who are beyond school leaving age.

== Lists of virtual schools ==

# [[:Category:Virtual schools in Turkey]]
# '''[[:Category:Virtual schools in the US]]'''

Some of these country categories seem too detailed, eg Turkey and South Africa. Others may be needed soon, e.g. for UK, Sweden and Finland.

Note that '''Ceased virtual schools''' (those that no longer exist) have their own category - [[:Category:Ceased virtual schools]]
