Six Reports on ‘Promising Practices in Online Learning’ Available Online
Posted on March 18, 2010 by Som Seng
The International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL) is a non-profit association with more than 3,400 members representing a diverse cross-section of school districts, charter schools, state education agencies, non-profit organizations, colleges, universities, research institutions, corporate entities and other content and technology providers.
On their site, they feature six reports on ‘Promising Practices in Online Learning.’ While some of these, especially the most recent one entitled ‘A Parents’ Guide to Choosing the Right Online Program’ have a K-12 focus, others seem appropriate to anyone in, or looking at, online education options and practices. The reports, which apparently have been in the making since 2008, include:
- Promising Practices in Online Learning
- Blended Learning: The Convergence of Online and Face-To-Face Education
- Using Online Learning for Credit Recovery and At-Risk Students
- Management and Operations of Online Programs: Ensure Quality and Accountability
- Socialization in Online Programs
- Funding and Policy Frameworks for Online Learning
- A Parents’ Guide to Choosing the Right Online Program
A news release about the sixth and most recent report is here. To access any one or all of these reports directly from iNACOL, visit this page of their website.
