Online learning opens options for Mesa teachers, students - Ray Parker, AZ Central
A growing number of educators have moved into online teaching to fit into their day jobs or as a part-time position to fit into their home schedule. But they're finding it takes awhile to go from traditional classrooms to computer courses, especially when dealing with the hurdles of electronic communication. Online courses have proliferated in recent years at Mesa Distance Learning, which has grown about 20 percent a year mirroring national trends, said Doug Barnard, director of the district's program. In 1999, he said there were 50 distance-learning K-12 programs in the nation. Those programs have mushroomed to 5.5 million [enrollments] in 2008.
