The pressure is on for school districts to adopt online learning — and the pressure is coming from both parents and students. A 2013 Trends in Online Learning Report released at ISTE on Tuesday, June 25, looked at online learning from the perspectives of thousands of teachers, parents, students and administrators. Project Tomorrow analyzed results from the 2012 Speak Up survey to produce this report with Blackboard K-12. Forty-three percent of parents with school-aged children have taken online classes. And when they go through online classes for work or their own education, they increasingly want an online learning experience for their students, said Julie Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow. That’s why 48 percent of them want more online classes at their high schools.
