New Study Explores the Nature of Online Learning in K-12 Schools: 700,000 Students Studying Online During 2005-2006 School Year
The Sloan Consortium's first ever survey of online learning in elementary and secondary education, "K-12 Online Learning: A Survey of U.S. School District Administrators," predicts rapid growth in online education. The nationwide survey, conducted during the 2005-2006 academic year, finds that almost two out of three (63 %) school districts had one or more students enrolled in either a fully online or a blended course, which combines online learning with traditional face-to-face instruction. The new study estimates that 700,000 K-12 students were engaged in online courses in the 2005-2006 academic year. The complete survey is available at http://www.sloan-c.org/publications/survey/index.asp.
