Take a look at the following presentations that present both the demand for online learning and the ROI  for implementing an online learning program.

  2. I agree with the use of mastery learning across the board for all schools, at least at the high school level. Independent study is one thing, but mastery learning is what we should be using as a gauge of student performance rather than grades, or single tests.
