But there are some important questions unanswered — and worse, they’re not even asked. If students are not excelling in face-to-face settings, can online learning provide them with a better — or different, or another — opportunity? And can online learning open new doors that just aren’t possible in a classroom, with access to different types of creative and collaborative possibilities with students and teachers worldwide? What about reports that show the value of blended learning?
Online learning does not just offer courses to K-12 students; it opens up learning options — and that’s the promise of technology.
