The Sloan Consortium's (www.sloan-c.org) first ever survey of online learning in elementary and secondary education, "K-12 Online Learning: A Survey of U.S. School District Administrators," predicts rapid growth in online education.
The nationwide survey, conducted during the 2005-2006 academic year, finds that almost two out of three (63 percent) school districts had one or more students enrolled in either a fully online or a blended course, which combines online learning with traditional face-to-face instruction.
The Sloan Consortium's K-12 online survey, developed in collaboration with Hunter College and Babson College and funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, consists of responses from 366 public school district chief administrators representing two million students nationwide.
Survey results show online learning is meeting the specific needs of a range of students including those who need extra help, those who want to take more advanced courses and those whose districts do not have enough teachers to offer certain subjects.
The complete survey is available at
