Digital Arts and Design Academy

Student Certification Preparation

Challenge:The state of Florida, as a result of passing the Digital Learning Now Act, now requires all high school students to take at least one online course prior to graduation. The Trunity platform is perfect for developers of self-guided courses that meet state standards and can also prepare students for certification exams in a variety of job skill areas, including technology related fields and others. One eLearning developer stepping up to meet the needs expressed in the legislation is 360 Education Services, Inc., with it’s online Digital Arts and Design Academy.

Solution:Courses provided by the Digital Arts and Design Academy will help middle and high school students prepare for real-world certifications in fields like web design, digital design, gaming animation, and application development.

While the prospect of delivering online learning across a diverse demographic such as the state of Florida presents numerous challenges to cash strapped school districts, especially those in rural districts that historically have been less endowed with access to technology than their urban counterparts, 360 ES believes that there are cost-effective solutions to these issues, not least of which are the courses they offer through the Digital Arts and Design Academy. “Still,” according to Kim Cavanaugh, veteran education technologist and principal in the company, “schools must carefully consider all of the options available to them for the operation of online courses to find economical means of providing both the curriculum and resources needed by their students. While online courses may be new, this challenge isn’t particularly different from those schools face in the delivery of traditional courses.”
