ConnEct Chronic

ConnEct Chronic: Home Learning is an online flexible learning programme delivered by Loughborough College. The programme was recently known as the Satellite Virtual School and has been integrated in to the college since 2008. ConnEct offers both GCSE’s and AS subjects for learners aged 16 plus. The programme initially was delivered to chronically ill learners, but has now been rolled out and is accessible to anyone. Currently ConnEct Chronic: Home Learning is working with elite sports performers, as well as chronically ill learners and has developed a partnership with a remote college in Methwold.

The programme allows learners who are unable to access a college due to their individual circumstances the opportunity to continue their education from home. It provides an alternative way of learning other than the traditional classroom approach. All learners will be entered will have a seat at Loughborough College for their exams; chronically ill Learners can request special examination considerations.

ConnEct has its own website which is regularly up-dated with a blog, case studies and information about the staff and services. Learners have access to this as well as any of the online resources and information offered by the college.

Currently it offers three GCSEs:

• English
• Mathematics
• Science (single award)

and seven AS Levels:

• Environmental Science
• Sociology
• Human Biology
• Psychology
• English Literature
• ICT
• Law.
