A new report from Connected Tennessee, a local broadband consortium in partnership with the East Tennessee Educational Technology Association, shows that online education is important at all levels of schooling even K-12. According to the report, students that become comfortable with technology early on, learn better and are better prepared for jobs of the future. Online learning is also helping minorities in Tennessee get ahead. Data in the report shows that half of the minority population in Tennessee goes online for e-learning, that number is significantly higher than caucasians in the state. Hard to reach populations like rural residents are also getting online, 39% of rural residents in the state go online for coursework or work related activities.
