A Synthesis of New Research on K–12 Online Learning

A Synthesis of New Research on K–12 Online Learning (November 2005)

Here's an interesting article to read, "Online learning is an emerging but rapidly growing phenomenon in K–12 education. Although practitioners believe that online education is effective in reaching and serving a wide range of students, little empirical research has been performed to determine its effectiveness in elementary and secondary settings. Questions remain about the educational needs best addressed through online learning as well as its impact on school improvement and learner outcomes. Programs of research informed by early lessons learned are needed to inform the future development of online learning. "

Are you interested in on-line schooling for your child?

Do you want to keep your gifted child challenged, catch up a child whose reading level is grade three when the child is in high school, or just enhance and supplement your child's learning? Do you want to give parent/guardian's homework when, "school assigns none [hah!]"

Please e-mail your contact information, including state and your child's grade level and whatever you want us to know about your situation. Just collecting information for now...
