| dc.description.abstract | This study explores Grades 11 and 12 gifted and talented learners' attitudes toward the concept of enrolling in Advanced Placement courses in a virtual learning environment. The research investigates British Columbian student responses to the concept of enrolling in challenging course work offered in an Internet setting, which Advanced Placement courses students would find most appealing, and which support components students would identify as needed, helpful, and ideal in an Internet-based learning environment. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were combined in this case study. Quantitative data was used to form broader generalizations. Qualitative data was used to describe rationales underpinning participants' responses and to contextualize those responses in the current involvement of British Columbian secondary schools in the Advanced Placement program. Study findings suggest that a well-crafted Advanced Placement Online program, designed to meet the needs and expectations of gifted and talented senior secondary students, could be successfully developed by British Columbia's Open School and delivered to students through British Columbia's distance education centers. | |
