ACCESS is long distance learning website provided by the Alabama Department of Education. It allows public high school students "access" to classes that they cannot take at their school. Some of the courses that are being offered this summer include: AP courses in most every content area along with regular education courses such as Algebra I and English. The elective courses offered are also interesting. They include: personal finance, psychology and nutrition and wellness. This site also includes information for teachers and parents as well and also for those who want to participate in the program or just learn more about it. Alabama colleges are involved as well including the University of Alabama and Troy University.
This site provides such an excellent opportunity for students to take classes that they might not have access to at their own school. It also gives them the experience of taking a class online which they might have to do in their college careers. It is beneficial for educators as well because it offers a new, fresh way to motivate students and offers them something new besides just the traditional sitting in a classroom. This is a great chance for students to vary their high school curriculum.
