States across the South are doing more to increase K-12 school students’ access to online courses, according to a recent Southern Regional Education Board report. According to the report, nearly all of the 15 SREB states are offering online coursework to students, and for many students, taking courses online has become as commonplace as bringing pencil and pen to school. Here in Alabama, about 26,000 students in grades 9-12 are taking online courses through the state’s ACCESS program. Students have about 75 courses to choose from, which they take through web-based content and e-mail contact with instructors. The program also offers video teleconferencing classes, but only about 6 percent of the students in the program use this service.
