A recent report from a New York state advisory council found that online and blended learning courses can be beneficial to students across the state. After many meetings, discussions and more, the Online Learning Advisory Council provided a list of recommendations to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the legislature and MaryEllen Elia, New York State education commissioner. Cathy Young, R-C-I-Olean, sponsored a bill last year that established the council to provide recommendations regarding the availability of online learning to students. “Online and blended learning systems provide school districts, teachers and students with innovative and cutting-edge approaches to education. There are tremendous opportunities for schools to utilize these teaching methods and dramatically enhance the educational experience for students,” Young said.
