Virtual AP Project GoalsThe K12LN has identified three goals for this project based on
the needs of our consortium:
1. Develop six fully online classes that supplement current Advanced Placement offerings;
2. Provide professional development to teachers, administrators, and technical staff;
3. Provide targeted access to virtual Advanced Placement (AP) courses and increase AP opportunities for low income students.

Course AuthorsParticipants will receive:
• A stipend (once course is developed)
• Technology (Same as the students)
• Training and support (Starting in February)
Social Authoring Model
Three different author teams focus on the following areas of course development:
1. Core Authors write the text and narration for the course. Each lessons of the course is designed around learning objectives, major and sub-topics, vocabulary and examples. Core Authors help visualize the live video, animation, and graphics that support the presentation.
2. Contributing Authors develop activities, assessments, and assignments. This includes discussion questions, group projects, practice problems, virtual labs, quizzes, simulations, and assessment questions.
3. Supporting Authors review and fact check the work of the Core and Contributing authors, and suggest supplemental resources, such as readings or web sites that provide additional applications, real world examples, or research materials.
