Digital Learning Frequently Asked Questions

What is NTI?

NTI is Non Traditional Instruction. NTI allows for schools to continue instruction on days that would otherwise be cancelled. For additional information, please visit KDE.

Is the virtual learner the same as being on NTI?

No, Virtual Learning is a separate online learning program for those students that choose to not return to in-person instruction. Students in grades K-5 utilize Pathblazers while 6-12 students utilize Edgenuity. NTI is an alternative to traditional in-person instruction implemented to continue teaching and learning when schools cannot be open for in-person instruction due to circumstances like inclement weather or widespread illness.

Can my student access work offline at home?

Students can access their Google Drive at home. Directions can be found here.

What if I have a Chromebook or technology issue while I am working at home (virtual learner or NTI)?

Please visit the Tech Issues page on this website for troubleshooting. If the issue still is not resolved, please fill out the Virtual Help Desk form. A member of the GC Help Desk will then connect via Zoom to help you solve your issue. If the issue still persists, further instructions will be given by the Help Desk.

I don't understand what terms like asynchronous and blended learning mean?

Please refer to the Digital Learning Glossary to learn more about these terms and more.

If we are on NTI, where do I find my student's work?

Students K-6 will find all assignments in their Google Classrooms under Classwork. Assignments will be listed under Topics. There will also be a Weekly Agenda that highlights what is due for each week.

Students in 7-12 will find assignments in Schoology under each Course. Assignments will be located in the appropriate folder.
