IDEAL-NM Annual Report: School Year 2013-2014
New Mexico Public Education Department
Innovative Digital Education and Learning-New Mexico (IDEAL-NM) was created in response to the 2005 Performance and Accountability Contract, "Making Schools Work" to leverage technology. On October 27, 2006, the statewide e-learning program that would implement a shared e-learning infrastructure using a single statewide learning management system (LMS); web conferencing system; and help-desk support for K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and governmental agencies was announced. IDEAL-NM implemented a statewide Cyber Academy beginning in the summer of 2008, with 54 enrollments from nine school districts. The vision of the statewide Cyber Academy was to provide, through the innovative use of technology, equitable access for education opportunities to all New Mexico students, by reducing geographic and capacity barriers. The statewide Cyber Academy works in partnership with New Mexico schools to deliver quality and rigorous online courses taught by highly qualified New Mexico teachers via a supplemental or blended model. In this model, students enroll in a physical, brick-and-mortar school, and credit for the completed Cyber Academy course is awarded by the enrolling school. As a nationally recognized program IDEAL-NM provides statewide eLearning services to P-12 schools and state government agencies. IDEAL-NM is a program of the Public Education Department (PED). New Mexico is the first state in the nation to create a statewide eLearning system that, from its inception, encompasses all aspects of learning--from traditional public and higher education environments, to teacher professional development, to continuing and workforce education. This report provides the following relating to the program: demographic description, detailed report of expenditures, description of services provided, the number and location of local distance learning sites to date, schools and distance learning completions (virtual school only--does not include portal enrollments), courses offered, and Student and Teacher Accountability Reporting (STARS) data. Three appendixes are included: (1) K-12 Web Portals; (2) State Agency and Community Organization/Non Profit Portals; and (3) Tribal Colleges Portals. [Issued December 2014.]
