Innosight Institute’s seminal report, “The Rise of Blended Learning,” outlines several emerging school models that combine the best of onsite and online learning. Besides students taking online courses when possible, there are basically two emerging school models:
Rotation: Students spend 20 to 50 percent of their time online.
Flex: Core instruction is conducted online with on-site academic support and guidance, integration and application opportunities, and extracurricular activities.
Students in flex schools progress as they demonstrate mastery in most courses. In some courses, particularly those with teachers at a distance, they may remain part of a virtual cohort.
