About NSVS Courses<\/h4>

NSVS courses consist of a set of lessons, activities and projects. It is expected that students will be online every day for about a 1-hour period completing work and meeting with their teacher and fellow students online through e-chat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

NSVS Standards<\/h4>

NSVS standards for online courses outline a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 90 minutes of synchronous activity per week. This is the time when a student would be online at the same time as the online teacher and fellow students in the course. This time is chosen based on the student's schedule and there are generally 2 or 3 choices of login times each week. Students will also have daily lessons which they will need to complete. If conflicts arise for students with the e-chat schedule, they should resolve this with their NSVS teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Coordinating NSVS Courses at Your School<\/h2>\n
