Editor's Notes
- Inputs matter. How can you tell if an online course is any good, whether it engages students in active learning, or challenges them with authentic, higher-level work? We’ll detail the California Learning Resource Network (CLRN) course review process, from publisher entry to publication, outlining criteria, including iNACOL’s course standards, for receiving our certification as part of our University of California partnership. We’ll also share data from the California eLearning Census.
- What’s missing is that
- As the census drew to a close, we sent a supplemental survey to those districts that were purchasing courses, asking them about their selection process. When asked what factors they considered when selecting courseware, the top four choices were price, comparing courses to content standards, the U.C. A-G approved list, and examined course outlines. Sadly, few districts realize that by selecting from the UC A-G Approved courses, they’re also depending on CLRN’s certified course reviews.None10%Selected only CLRN Certified courses.3 6%Colleague recommendation17 32%Vendor demonstration2242%Data supplied by curriculum provider22 42%Examined course outlines2955%U.C.

- Short video clip of a boring teacher?If you walked into a f2f class and saw this type of teaching/learning, would you be impressed? Would you recommend this class to other students? Would you send a struggling student there? The lesson begins with “Writing an introduction” slide show, which would be stronger if narrated, followed by some vocabulary exercises. Students then read:12 textbook pages about verbs13 pages of textbook reading about verb agreement10 pages of textbook reading about verb tensesix textbook pages about “verbs made easy”a one-page textbook page about writing a first draft, andtwo textbook pages about simple narratives.
