Explore Careers Through New Online Electives
Have you ever wondered what a forensic scientist really does? What would a career in criminology be like? Does veterinary science interest you? How would a student learn more about the field of law and order or anthropology before going to college? Through SOCRATES Online, high school students have the opportunity to explore these fields of study as well as other creative elective classes.
Whether you want to try artistic expression through 3-D computer modeling or digital photography or are interested in career exploration, these learning opportunities are available through SOCRATES Online. To discover whether the classes can be added to your schedule and meet your high school graduation requirements, contact your high school counselor or SOCRATES Online staff: Karen Johnson, Program Director or Sue Zarn, Student Service Coordinator.
SOCRATES Online to Launch Electronic Student Information System
SOCRATES Online in collaboration with Northern Star Online will be launching Genius SIS, a new web-based student information system for online programs including a student/guardian portal, online course registration, and tracking of student progress. Integration of Genius with Moodle, the online course management system used by our programs will avoid double-entry of student information and ensures up-to-date data accessible to students, parents, school counselors and online teachers. This implementation of Genius SIS will be customized to reflect Minnesota policies and practice. Training on the use of the system will be available during fall semester for online teachers and school counselors. More on Genius SIS: www.geniussis.com
