Spokane Virtual Learning (SVL) is a web-based educational project providing instructor-led online courses to students in Spokane public schools, and across the US state of Washington.
Founded by Spokane Public Schools, Spokane Virtual Learning began in 2005 to fulfill the needs of students who required a non-traditional learning environment. It intends to enable students to take classes online that they might not be able to take otherwise due to scheduling problems; or who are in need of credit recovery to graduate on time. All of Spokane Virtual Learning’s classes align to Spokane Public Schools’ curriculum.
The Spokane Virtual Learning web site is at http://www2.spokaneschools.org/OnlineLearning//index.php
More Details
Students must maintain weekly contact with their teacher, log in multiple times per week, and make measurable progress in their courses.
