This was sent to me via e-mail from the folks at Online Colleges .
I wonder what this might look like for the K-12 environment?
Blended Learning: Where Online And Face-To-Face Instruction Intersect For 21st Century Teaching And Learning – Full Report Released.
This looks rather decent. To bad it took a recession (at least in Florida) to get online schooling into public schools on a consistent basis. As best I can tell the online classes are given in the regular classrooms during the same school times as before. In our school we have used a combination of face to face and online for 12 years, but with a difference. Our students are allowed to progress through high school at their own speed, mostly about 3 years. Most of the face to face takes place at a community college where high school and college credits are earned for the same courses. Parents are very involved in our programs. Students are exposed to various age groups as they will be the rest of their lives. We have an e-book explaining how all that a state allows can be used to the student’s and parent’s advantage to get into college and shorten overall time in school and save a small fortune.

Quality K-12 Distributed Learning.
This is a marvelous document. Thanks for alerting me to it. Such a thorough process for evaluating the appropriateness of a program/course/content. I had not previously heard of the Sussex Scheme upon which it is based, but have located a reference to that document: http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED114353&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=ED114353
