A majority of respondents in a new Virginia Commonwealth University Commonwealth Education Poll support online learning opportunities for high school credit. The poll, conducted annually by the Commonwealth Educational Policy Institute in the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs, found almost two-thirds of respondents (63 percent) favored allowing students to earn high school credits online, while 33 percent opposed the practice. There were significant differences in support by age cohort, with younger respondents more in favor of online credits options. Fully 72 percent of those aged 18-34 supported the practice while only 47 percent of those aged 65 or older did the same.
