Here is some data to consider (about this supposedly new learning approach). 1996, the first high school for online learning was established (Partnership between Hudson Public schools and Concord Consortium). An estimated 700,000 students (K-12) took at least one online course in 2005-2006 (Piccano and Seaman, 2007).
