Updates and news about eLearning, Distance Education and Virtual Field Trips

About Online Learning

Online learning provides all learners with opportunities to extend their learning beyond the classroom walls. Online learning can take on many forms:

  • Virtual Instruction: Students receive the majority of their instruction (80%+) in an online environment. In the Omaha Public Schools teachers and students use the learning management system, ANGEL, to provide online instruction to students.
  • Supplemental Instructional Programs: These programs are available to students to enhance their regular instruction. These may include programs such as Imagine Learning, Achieve 3000, and TenMarks Math.
  • Webinars: These learning opportunities are brief, direct learning sessions with content experts delivered through web-based software or video conferencing.
  • Online Sites: There are many great websites that provide practice activities, reference materials, and web tools. These sites enhance instruction. Examples of these sites include Starfall, Reading A-Z, Read-Write-Think, and National Archives.
