Gwinnett County Public Schools recognized an early need for technology to permeate the education of Gwinnett’s learners. eCLASS is a major school system initiative designed to make this vision a reality. eCLASS is a digital Content, Learning, Assessment, and Support System that provides the district with an integrated enterprise solution to enhance student engagement and learning.

This multi-year initiative will provide digital tools that will expand the walls of the classroom, fostering collaboration and nurturing creativity and innovation in students and teachers. It will also ensure appropriate technological tools and resources that are part of students’ daily activities. Media-rich lives are incorporated into the school day, making learning real and relevant to a student population that has never known a world without sophisticated technology. What's more, this robust online environment will meet the evolving needs of students and staff, facilitating teaching and learning, enhancing communication, strengthening the link between school and home, and ensuring operational and analytical excellence in the day-to-day operations of the school system.

• On a Digital Learning Day, teachers will post assignments on their eCLASS C&I course pages. 
• Students will use the My eCLASS student portal to log in to their eCLASS C&I course pages to access assignments, resources, and other materials. If the power is out, a student may access the teacher’s course page when the power returns.
• If a student cannot access a computer or device (tablet, smartphone, etc.), the student can get the assignment once school resumes.
• Student work will be expected to be turned in to the teacher (either digitally or in person) using a school’s process for turning in work following an absence. For example, if your school allows students to turn in their work two days after a missed day, the Digital Learning Day assignments would be due two days after classes resume.

On those Digital Learning Days called due to inclement weather, teachers will share additional information with students about how they will support student learning during the day. (For example, some teachers may set up a discussion board while others may use online conference tools or be available via phone/email at various points throughout the day.)

Parents and students who need a refresher course on accessing eCLASS C&I can go to the following web page for helpful resources and information, as well as useful links on our Working Digitally page.
