To get a better idea of what is involved in an online lesson, see if you can watch one being delivered at your school. Find a study coach at your school and ask if you could sit in and watch a class.

Your study coach will let the virtual teacher know that you are keen to watch a lesson. The teacher can then tell the study coach the best time for you to watch a lesson.

Watching a lesson is a good chance for you to talk with students in the virtual schooling service.

You may like to write down (new window 20k ) some questions to ask students, teacher or study coach.

If your school does not have any online lessons yet, ask a teacher to email a request to organise a "real" demo. Ask the teacher to include the school name and the number of students who are interested.
