The Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) is a very resourceful learning tool for educators as well as students. On this site, students are able to take courses that are not offered at their schools and receive credit for the class. This offers students the ability to go beyond what their high school offers and take classes that they would like to benefit from. With ACCESS, students can go online and do work at their leisure. Students and teachers are able to interact with one another and video conferences give students the ability to communicate with others without necessarily being physically together.


I believe this site is very useful for students. It gives them the ability to have a sense of responsibility and get a small taste at the college life. Students are more likely to do more work and enjoy learning more when they are taking control of the way their schedules work. This is a very informative site as well for people who are unaware of what the site deals with. It gives you plenty of information that serves as a guide for parents that may have questions about what the site entails. I don't really see any problems with the site, I would just life for people that are not able to afford computers or do not have the ability to get to a computer to be able to have the oppurtunity to engage in this type of learning.
