Growth of online instruction continues, though unevenly

State-led online education programs now exist in 39 states, the report says, with Vermont and Montana having opened new programs that allow students to take at least some of their classes online in the last year. Alaska, too, has just begun the process of opening a statewide network for online instruction.

These state-led online programs had a combined 450,000 course enrollments during the 2009-10 school year, an increase of nearly 40 percent over the previous year. Yet just two states—Florida and North Carolina—combined to account for 96 percent of this growth, according to the report.

Online classes a virtual reality at MAU

BENNINGTON — Mount Anthony Union High School is going virtual. Starting in the fall, a select number of motivated students will have the opportunity to share a class and work on group projects with students from around the globe.

The classes, which are done completely online, will be offered through Virtual High School. It has hundreds of classes with curriculum designed by teachers from across the world.

MAU teacher Diane Moore is formulating the curriculum for an anatomy and physiology course for Virtual High School and in return MAU receives the opportunity for 25 students to take one of the Virtual High School offerings each semester, many of which are not taught at the high school.

“It gives us the opportunity to expand course offerings for kids,” said Kristyn Harrington, a school-based clinician who is acting as co-site coordinator with Virtual High School.
