eLearning Day School is only offered to current TDSB Secondary School students who are also enrolled in one or more courses in their day school.  

e-Learning Day School

If you are TDSB high school student interested in taking an online, mostly asynchronous course as part of your timetable, the e-Learning Day School program may be for you. e-Learning courses are primarily asynchronous and run for a full semester. Teachers deliver synchronous lessons weekly for about an hour. Students are expected to log in regularly and to keep up-to-date with their assignments.

Secondary students across the TDSB may take one e-Learning course per semester as part of their day school timetable*. The course must first be approved by the school guidance counsellor. Once the student is enrolled in an e-Learning course, the course is added to the student's current day school timetable. 

e-Learning courses have been developed by the Ministry of Education and are delivered by TDSB teachers who are currently also teaching in TDSB high schools. 

*Students must be enrolled in and attending at least one other course in their day school while enrolled in an e-Learning course. 

Please note that although e-Learning courses are asynchronous, they are not self-paced courses. Assignments and evaluations are to be completed and submitted according to the due dates established in the course outline.  Students are expected to log in daily and commit 75-90 minutes to engage in and complete work independently.  That is the equivalent of 75-minutes of class time, along with homework time, which would vary throughout the duration of the course.

Setting You Up for Success

All students enrolled in an e-Learning course before the course begins are invited to attend an after school online orientation session to meet their e-Learning teacher at the beginning of each semester (September and February). The orientation session is recorded and posted for all enrolled students to view. In addition, each e-Learning course has an end-of-course evaluation that will take place online.
