Connecting Students to Advanced Courses Online

A new guidebook by the U.S. Department Education鈥檚 office of innovation and improvement explores the benefits of using online courses to deliver advanced content for secondary school students.

identifies types of advanced courses most commonly available from online providers, with in-depth profiles of six providers that offer a variety of Web-based courses and delivery models: Colorado Online Learning in Lakewood, Colo.; Florida Virtual School in Orlando; Iowa Online Advanced Placement Academy in Iowa City; Johns Hopkins University鈥檚 Center for Talented Youth in Baltimore; Michigan Virtual High School in Lansing; and Virtual High School in Maynard, Mass.

The guidebook鈥檚 interviews with those providers, and with 糖心动漫vlog and students in schools and school districts they have partnered with, create a picture of what online learning looks like in practice.
