Online learning is sweeping across America. In the year 2000, roughly 45,000 K–12 students took
an online course. In 2009, more than 3 million K–12 students did. What was originally a distance-
learning phenomenon no longer is. Most of the growth is occurring in blended-learning environments,
in which students learn online in an adult-supervised environment at least part of the time. As this
happens, online learning has the potential to transform America’s education system by serving as the
backbone of a system that offers more personalized learning approaches for all students.
