This year we have two different models of learning:

1. Online Learning
   • The entire course will take place online using the Ministry of Education’s virtual learning environment called Brightspace.
   • The course will be asynchronous, meaning there are no set times during the day that you need to be online. However, you must login to your course daily, Monday to Friday, and complete the work that is assigned for that day.
   • You must have access to a reliable computer with an internet connection in order to take an online course.
   • This model of learning will provide you with the most flexibility as to what time you complete your school work with no requirement to be in a school building.
2. Hybrid Learning (in-school)
   You must be physically present at the Wheable Education Centre in London to attend your classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  You must provide your own transportation to/from Wheable. The class will run either in the morning from 9:00am to 11:45am or in the afternoon from 12:30pm to 3:15pm (depending upon your course).  
   • The online days are Wednesday and Friday.
   • Online days are asynchronous, meaning you do not need to be in the Wheable centre (you can work from home) and there are no set times during the day you need to be online. However, you must login to your course, on all online days, and complete the work that is assigned for that day by the teacher.
   • Little, if any, of the course material for in-school days will be provided online. A hybrid course cannot be completed by doing only the work provided on online days.
   • The Ministry of Education’s virtual learning environment called Brightspace will be used for the online components of your course.
   • This model of learning will provide you with the most direct access to a teacher as you will see them face-to-face when in the school, but provide you with some flexibility on Wednesday and Friday as you can determine when you will do the school work on those two days.

• G.A. Wheable Adult Education Centre, 70 Jacqueline Street, London
• Blossom Park Adult Learning Centre, 391 Blossom Park Road, Woodstock (diploma pick up only) No hybrid classes or guidance counsellors are available at Blossom Park.

Course Access While Travelling Outside Canada

Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) protects the private information of students within this school board. We have established security protocols to prevent hacking, spoofing and unauthorized access to your records. Foreign internet service providers are not required to meet Canadian security regulations and are not answerable to Canada for breeches of security. International access is taken very seriously and only provided under circumstances which meet TVDSB security requirements. 

Following Ontario Ministry of Education regulations, our IT department is able to grant access for active TVDSB students traveling outside of Canada who require use of their @gotvdsb.ca account while they are away (all educational accounts are accessible only in Canada) under certain circumstances. There time and country restrictions which apply.  For example, we cannot grant access for cruise lines, China, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iran, and Brazil (this is not the full list).

In order to ensure that you still have access to your TVDSB email and Brightspace when you are travelling outside of Canada, you must arrange for remote access at least10 days before leaving Canada and ensure you have your cell phone available to you when you are away (for texts and phone calls). You must register and begin your term in Canada.   Each term requires its own access request.

PLEASE NOTE:

• the access has time and destination limits
• once access expires, it cannot be restarted in the same term
• it must be arranged 10 days before leaving Canada
• you must be registered and active in a course to request access
• each term requires its own access request (if annual time limit has not been exceeded)
• you must be able to use your cell phone for calls and texts while out of country
