ACCESS stands for Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators & Students Statewide. While viewing this website, i found it to be very enlightening. When i first heard about ACCESS, i had no idea what it was. While viewing the site, i learned that it is actually a program that allows students to take high school courses via Internet with an instructor. Students are also able to interact with students from other schools. ACCESS also allows students to participate dual enrollment. Dual enrollment is a program that allows high school students to take college courses while in high school. ACCESS offers students the choice of advanced diploma or a standard diploma courses. In order for a student to be allowed to take courses from ACCESS they must have prior approval from their high school counselor. One of the goals of ACCESS is to enhance classroom courses through technology. Although ACCESS has its' good qualities, it also has complications at times.
While the students have the advantage of taking online courses, there are times when problems occur with the technology. I believe that ACCESS is a good program. It provides a good opportunity for someone to learn from a distance if they are unable to attend school for any particular reason. If anyone is interested in distant learning or dual enrollment. I would encourage you to visit ACCESS website.
