With the exponential growth in online learning, I’m beginning to wonder when it will be so integrated into the way teachers teach and students learn that we no longer single it out from traditional program. Students are learning online every day, in and outside of the classroom. It’s become a big part of the educational landscape, whether we’re ready or not.

“Since about 2002, online learning has been growing nationally at about an average of 30 percent each year.”

-Allison Powell, Vice President, iNACOL

No longer strictly an “alternative”, online learning is now used as the primary K-12 curriculum in more and more schools. In addition, online learning environments address challenges specific to the diverse needs of learners, providing content in individual ways.

In a recent article, “Five Trends in Online Learning”, posted at DistrictAdministrator.com, other, and perhaps less predictable, trends are explored.

This may be the decade when technology-based, fully-online learning goes mainstream. From fully-online learning environments to blended learning opportunities, and summer school programs to alternative high schools, online learning is here to stay.
