In addition to announcing the increase in the percentage of students at a distance, the Sloan Consortium also reported to be questioned by the districts, they expect the K-12 enrollments in online schoolsIncrease by approximately 23% over the next two years.
Although the learning are many different opinions regarding the distance, the main argument for distance education is that it provides access to the contents of the course, through remote access to the curriculum, classroom specifically allow 'Distance learning, or enjoy learning opportunities that they could not have.
The main argument against distance learning is that the quality ofThe training is not high.

This subject is much more for K-12 environment, as the interaction with classmates and peers is more important than the 12 K age students than students.
Distance education is a realityessential complement to the traditional learning environment: students better access and more opportunities, schools can provide more of an education service to their communities without having to recruit teachers.
