The Heart of the Online Learning Environment

The heart of eChalk’s Online Learning Environment is the online classroom—a secure, dynamic space where teachers, students, and parents can find everything they need to communicate and collaborate safely and effectively.

  • 24/7 access to resources
    Teacher-maintained class pages give students easy access to a library of resources for self-directed learning, including reading lists, class notes, presentations, online texts, podcast lessons, videos, and much more.
  • Class schedules
    Information about homework assignments, upcoming tests, and scheduled events is available to students and parents, even if students are absent
  • Grade publishing
    Secure access to published grades enables students and parents to track classroom progress
  • Classroom archive
    Teachers archive lesson plans, class activities, tests, homework, and other events to reuse the following year, saving time and effort and improving productivity
  • Moderated blogs/discussions
    Students share ideas and collaborate with each other in a safe environment after school and on weekends
  • Homework Drop Box
    Students submit homework electronically, making it easy for teachers to collect and manage completed assignments
