Distance Learning Clearinghouse

Background
In June 2007, House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly called for the "establishment of a clearinghouse of interactive distance learning courses and other distance learning courses delivered via a computer-based method offered by school districts for sharing with other school districts and community schools."
What is the DL Clearinghouse?
The eTech Ohio DL Clearinghouse will be a web site bringing together distance education opportunities from Ohio school districts and community schools for Ohio learners. The clearinghouse will be managed and maintained by eTech Ohio with all course content coming from the district level. eTech Ohio will create an electronic catalog system listing the courses available, including detailed information needed by the purchasing school to determine interest. The eTech Ohio DL Clearinghouse is a web-based catalog of distance learning courses and not a virtual school.

School personnel will be able to utilize the eTech Ohio DL Clearinghouse to help expand their course offerings. Districts may also offer distance learning opportunities to help supplement their course offerings and increase the options available to students. In the end, students throughout Ohio will benefit from the sharing of courses.
