VIRTUAL LEARNING & ELEARNING

BCSC may use eLearning or Virtual Learning Days when weather, health, or safety concerns prevent in-person learning. Both use Canvas to keep learning moving—but schedules, instruction, attendance, and assignment expectations differ.

See what to expect from each type of learning day below.

eLearning Days

Flexible, self-paced learning.

eLearning lessons will be available in Canvas by 9:00 a.m. Students work independently and complete assignments at their own pace.

  • Teacher support: Teachers are available to provide support between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

  • Recorded instruction: Learning materials and recorded lessons are posted in Canvas. Live Google Meet instruction may be offered, but it is not required.
  • Assignment completion: Students generally have a 3-school-day window to complete and submit assigned work.
  • Attendance: Students are counted present when required assignments are completed within the designated 3-school-day timeframe. Attendance expectations honor individual student plans, including IEPs, ILPs, and 504 plans.
  • Consecutive eLearning Days: Additional deadline flexibility may be provided when multiple eLearning Days occur consecutively.
  • Annual limit: eLearning Days are limited to 3 days per school year. *Subject to Indiana Department of Education requirements.

Virtual Learning Days

Structured, live learning.

Live instruction begins at 9:00 a.m., and students follow the schedule assigned by their school.

  • Live instruction: At least 50% of the school day must consist of live, real-time instruction through Google Meet.
  • Accessing classes: Students join live classes using Google Meet links provided in Canvas.
  • Attendance: Attendance is taken in real time during each live session. All attendance expectations honor individual student plans, including IEPs, ILPs, and 504 plans.
  • Assignment completion: Assignments are expected to be completed by the next school day, unless otherwise directed by the teacher or school.
  • No annual limit: Virtual Learning Days are unlimited, provided the requirement for at least 50% live instruction is met.
