Clearly we are all familiar with online learning; we are all taking an online class now! The difference (if it is relevant) is that we are all in a higher education setting. Does that matter? Is online learning just as useful in K-12 as it is in postsecondary education?
Technology is embedded in everything in our worlds. Children in school now will never know a world without computers, the internet, wifi, social networking, etc. Online learning is very beneficial for adults in college because it fits many people's learning styles much better, is much more flexible with time, and may offer more networking possibilities than a traditional classroom might.
Are we learning any more or any less in an online class than the traditional classroom?
What are the benefits of online learning?
What are the cons of online learning?
Are some subjects better for online learning than others?
Should K-12 students be required to have some sort of online learning before graduation?
Are there places where it is already a requirement?
Can it help with dropout rates?
Does it serve as a better alternative school than... the traditional alternative school?
Will schools ever be completely online?
