Grade Results LMS Expands Opportunities with 55 MDE-Approved MOCA Courses

January 3, 2025

Did you know that Grade Results' Learning Management System (LMS) offers 55 Mississippi Online Course Approval (MOCA) courses? These courses provide an innovative solution for students and schools by offering flexibility and accessibility without requiring a teacher of record.

What Are MOCA Courses?

MOCA-approved courses meet the Mississippi Department of Education’s (MDE) standards for online learning. They are specifically designed to allow students to complete coursework asynchronously, meaning students can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. This is particularly beneficial for schools and districts facing teacher shortages or resource constraints.

Supporting Student Success and Cohort Progression

One of the most significant advantages of MOCA courses is their role in helping retained students rejoin or move closer to their original cohort. When a student falls behind, traditional classroom schedules may make it difficult to catch up. MOCA courses provide a solution:

  • Students can complete courses independently and at their own pace.
  • Retained students have the opportunity to regain lost credits without delaying their progress toward graduation.
  • Schools can ensure all students have access to high-quality instruction, regardless of their circumstances.

Benefits of MOCA Courses

In addition to supporting asynchronous learning and credit recovery, MOCA courses offer several other benefits:

  1. Flexibility: Students can complete coursework anytime, anywhere, making it ideal for non-traditional learners or students balancing other commitments.
  2. Accessibility: Schools can utilize MOCA courses to provide instruction in subjects where teachers may not be available.
  3. Cost-Effective: MOCA courses eliminate the need for a teacher of record while still ensuring students receive quality education aligned with state standards.
  4. Personalized Learning: Self-paced courses allow students to focus on areas where they need the most support, enhancing mastery of the content.
  5. Graduation Pathways: Students who are behind can leverage these courses to stay on track for graduation.
