 eLearning Classroom- New eLearning portal for delivery to students
DEED has a new eLearning portal with courses designed just for students, called the eLearning Classroom! The courses are not to be accessed by students, but delivered to students using accompanying instructions for teachers.
To access the new courses for students, click the following link: https://akclassroom.inquisiqlms.com/. You will need to create a new login to access the eLearning Classroom as the login information does not transfer between systems. For assistance with the new system, please contact eLearning@alaska.gov or 465-2304.
DEED, in consultation with school districts across Alaska, developed a teacher facilitated online curriculum for students in grades 7-12 to help prevent childhood sexual abuse and teen dating abuse. This curriculum, Bree's Law Education, meets the full requirements for student training under both Erin's Law and Bree's Law. More information can be found in the Classroom and at the following link: The Alaska Safe Children’s Act - Education and Early Development.
The first series, created in collaboration with DEED and the Mat-Su Borough School District, is called Navigating Transitions: Promoting Wellness to Prevent Suicide. This series is aimed at fifth through twelfth graders, to help them learn how to successfully navigate challenging life transitions. The lessons align with the Alaska State Suicide Prevention Plan.
