AAEC Online High School Overview
What is AAEC Online?
AAEC Online is an asynchronous online academy. Offering the same high quality educational experience, and tuition free concurrent online college enrollment through Rio Salado Community College. We invite you to experience early college with the flexibility and convenience that online school provides.
What Is Asynchronous Online Class Like?
In asynchronous online classes, students can access their studies on their own schedules. Teachers may mark attendance in different ways, such as by tracking who watched the lecture or posting comprehension quizzes. More interactive lessons can require learners to answer polls or click buttons, which also tells the instructor who has engaged with the content.
An asynchronous class allows learners to digest material in different ways: Students can dedicate more time to challenging content and breeze through lighter content.
