Much of the results mirror our general community college population: majority female, live within our service area (two counties), work full-time, lots of students in their twenties as well as thirties, with some in their forties/fifties; but unlike the online survey results, we also have a large population of different ethnicities..who go to our school and take online classes.. and have children while working full-time and going to college!

An increasing demand for cost-effective, responsive delivery, the use of personal devices, and teachers employing a range of online social tools to reach and engage learners means that managing and monitoring access to content has become central to teaching and learning delivery. Although there are many resources being developed for schools, e-safety cannot be managed in the same way in the post-16 sector. In fact, the issue of staying safe online is only one factor in the increasingly complex environment of online delivery. The responsibilities go beyond keeping learners safe; the essential difference being the variety of activities, diversity of age and ability of learners, as well as the range of teaching and learning delivery methods employed throughout the sector. This resource aims to address as many variables as possible but will need to be supplemented by your own specific experience, knowledge and context.
