Online Learning Options Help Fuel Rise in Homeschooling: A Growing Option in American Education- Dan Lips and Evan Feinberg, Heritage Foundation
Twenty-five years ago, a family that wanted to homeschool would likely have had limited curriculum and instructional options. Today, the options are nearly boundless. A Google search on "home schooling" produces more than 13 million hits.[21] This demonstrates the wide range of instruction options and homeschooling networks that parents can access when they choose to homeschool their children. Parents can find and purchase curriculum materials through online exchanges and other networks.[22] Hundreds of Web sites, blogs, and books are devoted to supporting parents who homeschool. In some cases, parents can access free or low-cost instructional products to teach their children.

I am amazed at how many universities are putting dozens of their classes up on the net, for free. I think MIT has put the content for over a hundred courses up on the internet.
