It’s common for online learning to intimidate homeschool parents who are used to using textbooks. However, many families that make the switch to online curriculum discover that the benefits of learning online far outweigh the fears they once felt. Check out the list below to discover four of the top reasons to choose an online homeschool curriculum like Calvert.
It’s flexible. No matter the time, place, or your child’s preferred pace, online curriculum lets homeschoolers study when and how it is convenient for them. Calvert Online takes convenience one step further by providing complete access to 45 courses for grades 3-12, allowing students to mix and match courses across grade levels to suit their individual learning needs.
Students build professional communication skills every day. Because email and instant messaging systems are mainstream forms of communication within the workplace today, learning to express thoughts in an orderly fashion is vital to success in the professional world. Calvert’s built-in messaging system provides students with an opportunity to practice virtual communication skills as they encounter questions or concerns while completing coursework.
Online curriculum provides immediate access to the latest information. As history happens and technology advances from day to day, there’s no need to wait around for software updates or a new edition of your textbook. Online curriculum can be updated anytime, providing your child with constant access to the most up-to-date information.
Recordkeeping is easy, and feedback is instant. Online learning programs minimize clutter by storing student data digitally. In addition, Calvert makes life easier for everyone by automatically grading 85% of student work. This time-saving feature provides students with instant academic feedback and families with more time together.
