Because every course we offer is taught by a Michigan-certified teacher, this high volume of enrollments has created capacity issues for our teachers who provide each and every student with individual feedback. With many students across the state 100% remote, demand for our online courses is greater than ever before. While we are no longer accepting new enrollments for these courses at this time, many courses continue to remain open for enrollment. You’ll notice when attempting to enroll students in our Student Learning Portal that some courses are unavailable. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the unusually high volume of enrollments we are receiving.We’re sorry to inform you that we have reached capacity for several of our Semester 1 and Trimester 1 courses. Our top concern, however, is student success, and we have a policy to not take on additional enrollments if we cannot guarantee that all students will have a quality online learning experience. We never want to turn away a student who wants to learn from us.
We know this is an incredibly stressful time for all, and we’re sorry if the courses you’re looking for are unavailable. We also have free course content and resources available for you to use. While some of our teacher-led courses are full, we may still have the capacity to help you in upcoming terms or can discuss timing to implement a whole-school or collaborative program in which local teachers from your school/district use our online course content to teach students. As a result, we are taking steps to hire even more part-and full-time teachers to support larger numbers of student enrollments for Semester 2 as well as for Trimester 2 and 3.įor schools that still need online learning options this year, please fill out the form at the bottom of our virtual pathways page to meet with someone to discuss other solutions. While the Michigan Virtual team anticipated and planned for significant increases in student enrollments this Fall, the increased demand we’ve experienced has been unprecedented. We’re sorry to inform you that we have reached capacity for several of our Semester 1 and Trimester 1 courses.

Many times the Effectiveness Report uncovers important aspects of online learning implementation that are not working, once again informing policy to ensure that Michigan’s students are receiving the best online education possible. The effectiveness of all online learning programs is tracked in MVLRI’s annual Effectiveness Report. Further research including focus groups of teachers, administrators and other school officials provides continuous feedback regarding the effectiveness of the policy as it is implemented in districts across Michigan. This report, along with other research conducted through the Institute, informs educational policy in the state. Research is also conducted without regard to the provider to ensure that important findings are brought to light and practiced in our own backyard.Įach year MVLRI reports a summary of these findings in its Annual Report. Research is conducted throughout the state, nation and internationally to incorporate a global perspective.
