Distance Learning Network

Welcome to the Distance Learning Network (DLN) website, connecting teachers and students. Learn how Nassau BOCES can support your district in developing a digital learning community that encourages creativity, collaboration and ongoing communication.

Videoconferencing allows teachers and students to virtual visit museums, connect with content experts and connect with other classrooms.

Online Learning Community consists of teachers from Long Island schools participating in online courses. All online courses encourage teachers to create engaging learning activities that enhance the curriculum, share resources and knowledge, and discuss educational issues.

Online Course Content provides districts the opportunity to offer alternative learning experiences for students. Students could participate in credit recovery, elective AP, and foreign language courses.

Studywiz Spark 9.3 is a secure online Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) designed to work the way schools work. Teachers can spend more time teaching and less time on repetitive tasks, and students are given tools they need to succeed.
