Back **Distributed Learning in British Columbia: Policies for Choice, Quality, and Achievement - Tim Winkelmans**

//In 2006, British Columbia amended legislation to allow any Board of Education, through a special agreement with the Ministry, to operate a distributed learning school. The province also now allows secondary students to enroll in any online course without local school permission. The presentation will describe how BC promotes quality to improve achievement for 50,000 students in 60 distributed learning schools, through mechanisms such as Funding, Agreements, Standards, Audits, Quality Reviews, and Enrollment/Achievement data collections.//
