Student Inactivity Guidelines

CBe-learn students must demonstrate an active commitment to their online courses, and are required to log into their courses on a regular basis, and complete the assignments and activities. If a student fails to do so, and fails to communicate with their teachers, they risk becoming Inactive in the course.

When a student’s registration is complete, and the course start date is identified, the student will have 15 school days to demonstrate that they have been active within their course. Similarly, students who start the course but do not continue to log in regularly will also be inactivated, according to the criteria below.

If the student has not met the criteria of an active student within 15 school days, their user role in the associated course will be switched (by their instructor) from “Student – CBe-learn” to “Inactive – CBe-learn”.

Once assigned the Inactive role, students will not have access to any course material, including content, discussions, assignments or quizzes. Students will not be permitted to continue in the course. All they will see is the teacher's email contact information and a message explaining that the registration has been cancelled. This message will also indicate the procedures for completing a formal withdrawal, and the option to register again with their counsellor.

After the Inactive role has been assigned, students have the option of registering again for the next intake at the end of the month. This will provide everyone (teachers / administrators / counsellors / parents) an indication of the student’s commitment and intent to complete online courses. Students are welcome to repeat the registration process, and try again for a fresh start within 2 weeks. Repeating this process more than twice should trigger an indication that online learning is not a good fit for the particular student.

Criteria identifying an inactive student after 15 instructional days:
  • Has not logged into the specific course.
  • Has not viewed any course content beyond introductory material.
  • Has not submitted any course work for assessment.
  • Has not participated in an introductory online or face-to-face session.
  • Has not responded to the teacher's request for contact via email, private discussions and/or a phonecall on at least 3 occasions.

This criteria is applied at the discretion of the CBe-learn teacher and administrators.
