Teachers

To get started, teachers may request access to the new LMS by filling out the Brightspace Teacher Registration Form. Requests will be processed by Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning within two (2) business days. Once processed, you will receive an email from Brightspace so you can log in and request WBC courses.

Schools/School Divisions

Schools may choose to provide WBC as a distance learning option according to school/school division needs.

Schools/School Divisions may provide learners with opportunities for success in relevant and engaging on-line learning experiences by following recommended guidelines.

Guidelines for Supporting Learners in a Web-Based Course

  • acting in accordance with Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning's policies, including the procedures and guidelines for implementing WBCs
  • providing information and facilitating discussions that lead to informed decision-making by learners and parents considering a WBC
  • identifying an on-site facilitator(s) to support student learning
  • ensuring that any WBC not developed by Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning, but accessed by their learners, is congruent with Manitoba curriculum, and satisfies Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning's procedures and guidelines for recognizing and granting credits to meet graduation requirements in Manitoba
  • offering learners access to WBCs to enable them to meet graduation requirements, explore areas of interest, and meet specific learning needs
  • ensuring that the grades learners receive in WBCs are recorded and reported following established guidelines
  • developing local policies to support the operation of WBCs in their school/division, including how course fees, if any, will be handled
  • supervising educators involved in teaching WBCs to distance learners
  • providing opportunities for teachers of web-based courses to participate in professional learning about the pedagogy of distance learning and other skills needed for using the Learning Management System
  • ordering, administering, and marking required provincial tests for learners registered in WBCs.
