The Homeroom

Virtual learning allows families and communities to re-group themselves in unique ways to help students achieve their online learning goals.  Read more about One Room School Houses.   PEMS is configured to allow third parties to participate in the learning process.  A homeroom can be a tutoring club with computers where students come to learn, or a homeroom may be a family with multiple students learning from home. {{@126#bkmrk-virtual-learning-all}}

Homerooms are Studia Nova's B2B clients.  The Freedom Library Club (FLC) is the first homeroom client. The organization is a club and may have multiple locations.  There may be multiple locations, but the homeroom clients is provided a single recruitment website. Each physical location must identify at least one proctor to supervise the on-site students.

On the partner's enrollment site, prospective students complete an enrollment form.  In that enrollment form, the submitter selects a location.  This location in the enrollment is a homeroom in PEMS.   When a club or organization adds new location, a new homeroom record must be added to PEMS.

Proctors

Where teachers are the qualified and certificated individuals that overlook many virtual students, PEMS allows proctors supervise students and review their work in Moodle, helping to keep students on track.  Proctors are not allowed any access to the SIS, but they are provided limited access to Moodle, and in this way, only see the work of their own group of students.  Proctors may be volunteers working in a tutoring club setting, or may simple be a home school parent managing their own student's progress.  A homeroom can have multiple proctors, but a proctors may only be assigned to one homeroom.

Data Relationships

 

Students are assigned a homeroom, there can be multiple students in a homeroom, but student may only be assigned to one homeroom.

Each homeroom must have one Proctor.  A homeroom is allowed multiple proctors, but a proctor may one be assigned to one homeroom.  

One organization is provided a Word Press recruitment website, which allows students to enroll on their branded website. The website may have multiple locations.  Each location is a homeroom record.

For every homeroom record there is a Moodle cohort.  Cohorts are used to help assign students and teachers to the Moodle groups.  Moodle cohorts do not provide privacy, only Moodle groups limit which students a proctor can review.  Groups must be defined for each course the student takes. The homeroom is used to help assign students to the correct group in the course.
