Question:

Adding a co-teacher to your eLearn course

(Last edited: Wednesday, January 20, 2021, 5:18 PM)
Answer:

You can add a co-teacher to your eLearn course. That co-teacher can either be given the role of teacher or non-editing teacher.

A teacher can add, edit, or delete lessons, while a non-editing teacher can only view students, view student work, and grade student work.

Question:

How much does eLearn cost?

(Last edited: Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 9:03 AM)
Answer:

Design-Your-Own Course

Add-on option within the MCOE Media Agreements

Cost: $2 per student

          + $500 annual tech fee

Description: You will be provided access to an empty shell of an eLearn course when adding eLearn through the media agreement. You (the facilitator/teacher) are responsible for constructing the content to be used with participants (students).

Duration: You will have access and editing privileges for 1 year. Your subscription will be renewed if your district continues to add in the media agreement. 

  



 

Pre-made content (per site)

Cost: $2 per student

          + the cost✝ of the premade course

          + Coordinator hourly fee per 1 hour of eLearn training for you (the facilitator/teacher)

Description: You are purchasing a premade eLearn course created by MCOE staff to be used at a single site. As the facilitator, you are responsible for running the course and facilitating its activities with the participants at a single site. You may edit and modify the course as desired, however, will incur additional fees if assistance from MCOE is needed to make those modifications.

Duration: The duration of the subscription will vary depending on the premade course.


Premade course cost: The creator of the course will determine its cost. The cost will be primarily based on the time required to create the course itself per hour as the labor cost. For example, a course that required 35 hours to create might cost $5,075 +/-. Additional considerations may also contribute to the course cost such as travel required to create the course, difficulty of course creation, etc.

Question:

I am a teacher. How do I get my own course on eLearn?

(Last edited: Tuesday, July 7, 2020, 9:18 AM)
Answer:

 

If you are a teacher working at a school/district in Merced County, then you may request your own eLearn course.

First create your eLearn account with your school-issued Google gmail address. Then request your course here...

https://elearn.mcoe.org/course/request.php?

Playing with your course is free, but enrolling students to have access to your course costs $2 per student for a full school year. Email Matt Edwards for an official cost quote: medwards@mcoe.org

Allow at least one full work day for your course to be created.
