E-learning has a long and storied history which seems to have culminated in online homeschooling technology. It remains to be seen where e-learning technology can take us, but it’s sure to be a logical progression from the traditional public school learning experience. Perhaps the primary advantage of online homeschooling is its ability to deliver content asynchronously. This means that students of all learning styles and speeds are able to learn at their own pace. The first e-learning system was called the PLATO System. By 2003, over 1.0 million students were enrolled in online learning programs in colleges alone. Nearly all public universities offer online correspondence courses. About half of private higher learning institutions offer similar online learning opportunities.
