Description
Although only a very small portion of the U.S. K-12 students are taking online courses, interest in and attention to online learning is growing fast and furious. "The total number of K-12 students engaged in online courses--either full time or part time--is about 1,030,000, almost a 50 percent, increase from 2005-2006, the Sloan report says"--(Miners, 2009, p. 12). Visionaries believe this online learning movement is just the beginning of a transformation of the school system for the first time in more than 50 years, when our current traditional industrial aged one-size-fits all system was implemented. When thinking of building a school today, Jukes, Kelly and McCain (2008) state that we should no longer have "cookie-cutter classrooms," and instead have schools as resource centers, where students learn their studies anyplace or anytime. The interest in the online learning movement is seen by the rapid increase in enrollment in online courses, especially in academies, For career and technical education (GTE), the online movement seems to be occurring at a much slower pace. The CTE field may want to increase its participation because of the world of possibilities that online courses may offer.
